denying access is illegal at a federally funded airport. The airport manager has no say as to who can or can not land.

Paragliding is an ultralight aircraft. Kinda sounds like the manager has prejudice towards ultralight aircraft. What does the owner have to say about this ? Is this a public airport?

I am in full support of this initiative to grant access to fly Kealia again.

Let them fly free!

Fly baby fly

Visiting biggest free flying festival in a world at the moment, celebrating human desire to fly and come across this petition. 15000 people in a small village seem to enjoy every aspect of human flight why can’t we do that in Hawaii?

Love the sky and it's big enough for everyone. Fly safe

I support all sorts of flying, the air is a tremendously beautiful thing to discover. With more and more discovering flying be it in an airplane or an inflatable wing we must always remember to communicate with others and do our utmost to operate safely. You have my full support and I hope the airport can see the beautiful side of it and find a way to incorporate the flying needs of the local airmen and airwomen (pilots).

The speed flying and paragliding community is made up of people who love nature, respect the land (and air) with which they play, and will do anything to protect their “sacred ground” at the sites where they play. Whatever the impetus for banning flights from Ke’alia, please work with your local flying community to solve for the issues rather than a hard ban. This is one of the safest, most accessible, and beautiful sites for these sports on earth. Please reconsider this. Here are some suggested solutions: 1. Local authorized guides with a vetting process established by a team of athletes and landowners 2. Communication with the tower to ensure no mishaps 3. trail maintenance days for local flyers to help keep the place looking nice Keep coming up with solutions and I’m sure everyone can enjoy their favorite hobbies in harmony.

Don't regulate a sport without a thorough understanding of what you are regulating. Please take the time to have an open discussion about your concerns and I'm certain we can reach a mutually beneficial compromise.

I am a home owner in Mokuleia and paraglider pilot of more than 26 years in Hawaii and as a pioneer of paragliding at Dillingham I feel the manager of Dilligham airfield should continue to allow Para'Gliding' along with the other flying sports including sailplane 'gliding' to residents and visitors alike.

Hello. Please let people to have access to freedom of flight. It's a beautiful expression of life. Cheers!
