If you or someone you know needs help saving an airport; call AOPA, reach out to your local, State, and Federal government office. For information on the airports that were unsalvageable, check them out on airfields-freeman.com (they publish great data on little known or abandoned airfields everywhere.) You can see more historic photos of Rialto's original beauty on their website. Until next time, fly safe and remember "life is worth flying for!"
