Mr. Peter Horton
Airport Manager
Key West International Airport
3/19/12
I am requesting to lease a 100 ft. x 100 ft. parcel of land on the
SW corner of the Marathon Airport. The land is located just
west of gate 10 next to the small park, ( photos enclosed ).
I am requesting a month to month lease to operate a
sightseeing ride business. I would like to install a key pad gate
at my expense on the east side of the fence.
I have operated my Biplane Business in Key West for 25 years
and would like the opportunity to share my love of aviation to
the people of Marathon.
Sincerely.
