I will format later: The Early Foundation (1998–2012)1998: The City of San Diego leases the 6.74-acre public parkland at Torrey Pines to a private concessionaire (now operating as Air California Adventure Inc.). BobK and traditional pilots argue the lease creates a private monopoly over a public launch site.2008: The city establishes the Torrey Pines City Park Advisory Board. This group is mandated to provide local community input while drafting a master plan for the park.June 21, 2012: The Park & Recreation Board officially approves the General Development Plan (GDP). Following the approval, the City of San Diego dissolves the Advisory Board, declaring its duties completely fulfilled. BobK protests, arguing the park has been stripped of permanent public oversight.Escalation and Restraining Orders (2014–2021)November 9, 2014: Tensions boil over when gliderport management officially bans BobK from the park. Management claims his behavior is hazardous, while BobK argues they are retaliating against his filming of safety violations and accidents.June 2015: Following a marathon 17-week non-jury trial, a San Diego County Superior Court judge reviews video evidence of physical altercations between BobK and flight instructors, ultimately granting a restraining order against him.June 2021: Under pressure from BobK’s ongoing advocacy, San Diego City Councilmember Joe LaCava publicly states that operating the gliderport is “well outside the capacity of the city”. He firmly announces the city will not reinstate the advisory board, claiming the board lacks the authority to intervene in private lease operational disputes.The Re-Mobilization Campaign (2025–Early 2026)October 15, 2025: Shifting strategies, BobK and co-advocate Ernie Casco pivot to local municipal planning groups. They secure a formal slot with the La Jolla Shores Association, successfully convincing the board to write an official letter urging the city to reactivate the long-defunct Advisory Board.January 13, 2026: BobK and Casco present a formal proposal before the University Community Planning Group (UCPG). They officially introduce the “San Diego Recreational Waiver” concept—modeled after Los Angeles County’s Dockweiler Beach system—designed to allow solo pilots to bypass the private vendor’s corporate fees and insurance mandates.February 12, 2026: The La Jolla Town Council officially throws its backing behind BobK. They vote to send a formal demand letter to the San Diego City Council requesting the immediate reinstatement of the Charter 43A public oversight board.Peak Crisis & Present Status (August–September 2026)August 25, 2026: Backed by three distinct municipal planning organizations, BobK takes his fight directly back to the San Diego City Council. During public comment windows, he presents the collection of community support letters and demands city-managed waivers. The city council continues to stall, failing to place the advisory board reinstatement on the official legislative agenda.September 16, 2026: The San Diego Reader publishes an in-depth investigative feature detailing “Drama at Torrey Pines Gliderport.” The report includes footage of an intense physical confrontation between BobK and Flight Director Gabriel Jebb, revealing that the ground war over filming, safety transparency, and public land access remains completely unresolved.
