klafollette 0 #1 April 14, 2005 Was looking for a status on the tunnel, but the www.skyventureaz.com website is down. Hope that's not a bad sign. I've heard there's been a bunch of delays and overbudget issues. Was out at Eloy last month, and they were just putting the last exaust pipe on. Looked a long way from completion. Anyone have a good guess on when it's going to be running? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkymonkeyONE 4 #8 April 15, 2005 You know, I didn't have any idea that's where they were putting the tunnel. I, for some odd reason, thought it was going in the back of the parking lot! The actual location makes good sense to me.

Water out here is more expensive than electricity! The water we do use is recycled from the ponds (irrigation ditches) to the landing areas. We re-seed the complex including the landing areas twice a year. Our packing as you know is primarily indoors. The tunnel is in a great location. The city electricity is more expensive than that of the county. By placing the tunnel where it is, it cut down on the projected electricity costs by 20% (County is 20% less than city) Additionally, the plan in the future includes a dormitory and a third landing area inthe vacinity of the tunnel. There will of course be a "no fly" zone 500 feet above the structures. Just waiting for the first yahoo!!
