Web site’s apparent crash is not alarming

Reports of El Toro Airport’s demise have been largely exaggerated.

A Daily Pilot reader dropped us a line last week, alarmed to report

that a main Web site for the El Toro fight seemed to have

disappeared. The Airport Working Group site www.eltoronow.com is down

to the bare bones, with almost no text at all except the words “under

construction.”

Amazing what a little reporting can do. A quick phone call to

working group Vice President Rick Taylor revealed that “under

construction” means “under construction.”

“We’re just updating it,” Taylor said, noting that the group is a

little too short on technical expertise to do maintenance while the

site’s still up and running. But mark his words, neither the Web site

nor the El Toro fight is even close to death.
