(2) Airlake Airport <br />Airlake Airport serves as a training facility due to its lIS capability. It is <br />difficult to determine the extent to which this facility is actually used for training <br />activity, however, because it has no tower. Airside expansion potential is limited due <br />to a road off one end of the runway and train tracks off the other. Residential <br />development is beginning to encroach in the vicinity of the airport. <br />(3) Anoka County -Blaine Airport <br />Previous expansion plans for this airport were halted due to local public <br />pressure and State legislation. The airport's air traffic control tower is currently <br />unmanned, and the University of Minnesota has recently ceased its training activities <br />at the airport. <br />(4) Crystal Airport <br />Crystal Airport is surrounded almost entirely by residential land uses. <br />Because of this, the airport has limited expansion potential. A high percentage of <br />operations at the airport are for training purposes. <br />(5) Flying Cloud Ai~ort <br />In order to better accommodate the existing operational fleet, a runway <br />extension has been proposed at Flying Cloud. This proposed runway extension, <br />however, has been the center of public controversy that may not be resolved in the <br />near future. Flying Cloud has the potential to expand iu landside facilities to the <br />southwest and northwest. A portion of the existing hangars are in a state of disrepair <br />and may need to be renovated in the neaz future. <br />n <br />I-48 <br />
