To: City of Mesa Mayor, Mesa City Council, and Falcon Field Airport Administration

Residents of Mesa, Arizona, are calling on you, our public servants, to save Falcon Field, a crucial part of our community that is owned and operated by the City of Mesa. Falcon Field is more than just an airport; it's a symbol of our city’s rich history and a key player in our local economy.

Falcon Field was established before World War II and played a significant role in military training, serving as a training ground for British Royal Air Force pilots. Its history is woven into the fabric of our community, and its contributions to our nation's defense efforts are part of a legacy that should be preserved, not forgotten.

Economic contributions from Falcon Field are critical. The airport supports over 1,300 jobs and generates more than $135 million in economic activity annually. It houses numerous aviation-related businesses, provides recreational opportunities, and draws aviation enthusiasts from all over, boosting our local economy and tourism.

Efforts to cancel or limit operations at Falcon Field threaten not only these economic benefits but also the cultural and historical value it represents. Closing or reducing the operations of this historic airfield would diminish Mesa’s unique character and its attractiveness as a destination for history buffs and aviation enthusiasts alike.

Saving Falcon Field ensures that we honor our past while looking forward to sustaining a vibrant community. Preserving its operations is a commitment to maintaining Mesa's historical narratives, protecting jobs, and supporting our local businesses.

Join us in urging the City of Mesa Mayor, City Council, and Falcon Field Airport Administration to preserve this invaluable asset. By signing this petition, you are standing up for history, jobs, and community pride. Please sign to save Falcon Field.
