Taos Airport Ian Wilson's Scoping testimony Ian Wilson      "At the Scoping hearing held in Taos on May, 14 '92, four individuals and the NM airports division raised the issue.      "Ian Wilson stated:      "I am a pilot. The main planes that have problems in cross-wind landings are small planes. Commuter planes can deal with heavier wind. So a cross-wind runway could be very short because it's only going to accommodate small planes. It could be just a gravel strip, because, primarily, there are not winds during the daytime. It would not need to be lighted.      "And I said a gravel strip, because it would not get used very often. It would be just an emergency runway there for occasional use, so probably would cost a few hundred-thousand dollars at most, and it would offset the claim that the 8600' runway is being built for safety."      Source of above text:      A document Geno Conahan found in Taos and read to J-L in New York on the phone November 8, '06.      More about the document: __________________
