I only hope if they are caught they are made to pay up for the damage.... Fat chance of that though. :censored:

No intrusion alarms, closed-circuit TV, motion-sensitive lights, or sheriff's patrols?

[Allen]

The comments say no to all below the story....

[SSI01]

Maybe that might be changing . . .

[Allen]

One would think...

That's kind of an unusual airport. It services a very small population base and is visible from the freeway (I5). It is pretty much all by itself, with no industrial park or anything, just hangers. They used to have a couple of F7F's there, which were used for fire supression, I imagine in the day they flew B25s and B17s out of it. It is on the bottom of a very high valley surrounded by mountains, most notably Mt. Shasta. The area around the valley (which holds the city of Yreka) is heavily timbered. What I'm trying to say is it is pretty much defenseless, because there has never been a problem.

I'm not sure if the got the right name know them... Its likely they got it wrong.

Either way there aint much in the area, you can see the entire town of Montegue on that map. It is a very rural area.
