The Jets from a corporation known as "MILLION AIR" headquartered in Long Beach will be occupying this
new facility that replaces the old hanger that burned down around 1996 (or thereabouts).
 

Only two local residents came to the County Airport Commission to express their reservations with having JETS
flying in over head, and those two residents, from the Wilson Neighborhood were heard - but - without others coming
to the meeting to express their concerns, the project went through and now Jet Traffic will be added to already stray sounds of pipers, United Express, B-24s, B-17s, P-38s, and other vintage and sordid aircraft that comes into Oxnard.

Oxnard Airport is designated the County Airport vice Camarillo, which services private aircraft and flying schools.

The inclusion of Jets to the mix of winged noise will surely cause some locals to look at Point Mugu as a potential new airport site and plans in 1999 were drafted for Joint-Use, which was the buzz-word, but Navy officials have balked at allowing joint use of the Mugu airstrip and have solidified their unity on this issue by consolidating the Point Mugu and CBC Port Hueneme bases.  According to Navy Public Works officials, the possibility of Joint-Use for Point Mugu is mute, but pressure on Oxnard City and Ventura County officials from the citizens can create a stronger look at this option and perhaps a compromise to create a separate off-site terminal with segregated use of the strip by commercial aircraft.

Such an option surely would have saved the doomed Alaska Air Flight 261 which crashed into the Pacific just off Point Mugu on February 1st 2000 - LINK - LINK -
