icopter airpark and development as housing.
There is a groundswell of interest in purchasing
the land and putting an official stamp on its cur-
rent use by declaring it a community park. The 29
acres were on the market as recently as 2013
with an asking price just south of $6 million.
As noted, there are now many other air
parks in America. But Airway Village was the
first. And the fact that it failed can't erase that:
a good idea is still a good idea. The Fords were
simply ahead of their time. No matter what
happens to the land, future Carmel Valley gen-
erations will still have reminders of Byington
and Tyrie's grand plan. Nearby roads named
Flight, Pilot and Ford will point to the past and
what might have been.
Jeff Ohlson has dedicated countless hours to
curating an exhibit at the new Carmel Valley
History Center. For information and hours, visit

"If Joseph Campbell did a
study on the Beatles and
Rock & Roll, All You Need is
Myth would be his answer.
This brilliant and provocative
production liberates mythology
from the ancient Greeks and
makes it accessible to the
modern geek."
