Seipel, December 14, 1995.
- Five air freight companies have proposed opening a 250-employee regional
cargo center at Moffett Federal Airfield with up to 18 jet flights a day,
touching off fears in neighboring Sunnyvale and Mountain View of predawn
noise over the communities.
The cargo companies say they have been forced to seek space at Moffett
to meet demand from Silicon Valley industry because San Jose International
Airport's noise-limiting curfew restricts early-morning flights.

Even though the Mercury is
campaigning for turning Moffett into a cargo airfield, I still think subscribing
to Mercury Center is a good idea. The Mercury has covered Moffett developments
quite well. If you get any home delivery, even just the Sunday paper, it
costs $1 a month to get the full text of the entire day's paper (and comics).
The News Library where I found all the old articles on Moffett costs an
additional 25 cents per article retrieved during non-prime time; searches
and abstracts are free.
The Sunnyvale Sun newspaper covers Moffett and other local issues.
It's delivered free to many Sunnyvale residents, and is available online
(free) at http://www.boulevards.com/metroactive/papers/sunnyvale.sun/
. For your friends with computers but without Internet access, The
Sun is also available on the Virtual Valley Community Network dial-up
bulletin board service at 408-298-8646.
If you don't want to subscribe to Mercury Center, there is another way to
read the back articles on Moffett. It's called the public library. Remember
what that is? It's like a big web site with high latency, where the full
text of millions of books and periodicals are available for very high bandwidth
access and retrieval, with full time sysops available in real time to assist
you with your search parameters.
