Many thanks to Dave Kiff for his respectful, informative request. Many , many residents were indeed alarmed by this fly over and while we understand the sentiment, there must be some consideration for coastal residents unaware of the activity. I had not considered John Wayne airport and the effect that could have had on air traffic.

What a wonderful tribute and exceptionally well done flyover. I was in the Harbor and moved by the maveuver even though we did not know the details. How ridiculous to get prior approval for a flyover. Too much government regulation and Mr. Kiff is not doing us any favors with his request. The city council members and mayor already have too control over this city.

Really, is CDM under attack? People really need to accept reality and stop thinking that the world is coming to an end. Question: what you are going do any different if it is a tribute or a defensely move? Answer: nothing.

Thanks Dave, we all respect our war heroes but it was indeed upsetting that afternoon to many CDM residents. It did sound a plan was crashing not honoring someone.

Thank you, Dave. I appreciate your efforts to request reasonable notice for these valued memorials. The public should be able to contact local authorities who are informed.

I live near NHHS and ran out of my house thinking there was a plane crash. Mr. Kiff did the right thing (his letter was much kinder than I would have written). I don't know why the family didn't tell the city or put it in the paper so that everyone could have enjoyed the flyover. It is as if they wanted a private party in our air space.

Advance notice of major (loud) flyovers should have reasonable notice, perhaps in the newspaper. What would be nice is at the same time if something could be done about the regular jets that are flying over Corona del Mar constantly. I was walking home from Albertsons the other day and I swear there was a jet taking off almost overhead, and if it turned 10 feet past the jetty I'll have my eyes checked.

We live very close to the water -- my husband ran out of the house with our daughter to see the fantastic planes. He wondered why one plane cut off over the ocean; our daughter asked all kinds of questions. We looked it up on the Internet and it was a learning opportunity. The adjective my husband used was EXHILARATING. What has happened to our citizens? Our liberal government is brainwashing the fools out there that 'everything needs to be controlled'. Have you ever considered not being scared of everything? Perhaps having some wonderment, some spirit, in your lives? Relax everybody.... take a deep breath. What a stupid waste of time and money getting the bureaucracy involved. Act like adults and raise your children to have self-responsibility and not be scared mouses. I say grow up and NO ADVANCE NOTICE of a flyover that happens once in a blue moon.
