over 500,000 live along Katella Avenue; and
WHEREAS, Katella Avenue traverses the communities of Los

square mile; and

Katella Avenue for visual flight navigation from the Los Alamitos
Army Air National Guard Reserve Station while conducting
helicopter training missions in the Santa Ana Mountains; and
WHEREAS, the United States Marine Corps Air Station
Tustin Helicopter facility also conducts training missions in the
Santa Ana Mountains; and
WHEREAS, helicopters are maintenance intensive aircraft
that have little margin for error in the event of a mechanical
malfunction; and
WHEREAS, helicopters conduct training missions along the

investigate alternate helicopter training routes that avoid the
densely populated centers of Orange County.
