Highway In The SkyThursday, April 24, 2008 By MICHAEL WATERSON, Eagle Editor
Transportation is one of the key issues for the future not only in
Napa County but for the region, the state and the nation. Everyday
more people fume while stuck in traffic. It used to be that the
skies were friendly and offered a rapid alternative means of

lines in the terminal after spending hours getting to and from the
airport plus parking can add up to four times as long as the flight

ultra-light planes, personal jumbo jets, and billion dollar deals
for fleets of aircraft all made headlines this year. The past 12
months also saw jet companies launching green initiatives as the
