As a retired Air Drive Reserve officer, I strongly help using McChord Area at Joint Base Lewis-McChord as the following airport.
Take a look at all the benefits, together with proximity to the metropolitan middle and Interstate 5, and a big airport space. The disadvantages, akin to getting U.S. authorities approval and crowded flight paths, can virtually actually be solved.
McChord is an underutilized gem that ought to be shared with civilians. There are some 21 U.S. airports which can be joint use. Positive, there are issues, however fixing them is effectively definitely worth the effort.
