Pendleton Airport Alternate Runway Improvements
The City of Pendleton is seeking funding for the construction of a grass landing strip at the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport, which would provide a safe and cost-effective alternative to traditional paved runways. Many general aviation pilots and certain UAS vehicles prefer to take off and land on turf, especially for tailwheel aircraft, certain vintage models, and ultralights. Furthermore, a grass landing strip would be environmentally friendly and would not require the use of heavy machinery or asphalt.
