OC Vice Chair Katrina Foley Recognizes Fourth Annual Fly Friendly Participants
ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA – Today, Orange County Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Katrina Foley in partnership with John Wayne Airport presented a resolution honoring the 2025 Fly Friendly Program participants, recognizing general aviation jet operators who have adopted greener, sustainable technology and who educate and demonstrate leadership in mitigating aircraft noise and supporting responsible aviation practices.
"Our general aviation community stepped up to educate pilots, promote eco-friendly flying, and set a standard that balances responsible aviation operations with quality of life for our residents,” said Vice Chair Katrina Foley. “For the fourth consecutive year, I extend my gratitude to the pilots and private jet operators making intentional choices to fly quieter procedures, limit late-night operations, and invest in newer, more efficient aircraft.”
