I remember when the Clifden airstrip issue resurfaced about 7 years ago, I was against the new proposed location in Derrygimlagh bog, loving as I did the emptiness of Roundstone Bog, despite the fact the the pro-airstrip loby claimed that the particular area in question consisted of 'degraded' bog.
The 'spirituality of the area': if that phrase actually meant something, then it would be a pretty shabby spirituality that was destroyed by a simple airstrip that brought some convenience to the people who live in the area and who want to use it.
I remember Paul Hughes I think it was who pointed out that the people who are against the airstrip don't have a monopoly on passion or feeling about the subject, despite the fact that they usually make by far the most noise.

 The Head Heeb: Airstrip one
Pitcairn is a more attractive destination than Nauru and has a certain historical romance, but the islands are too remote, facilities are too rugged and flights would likely be infrequent and expensive.
On the other hand, an airstrip will mean that supplies no longer need to be delivered to Pitcairn via longboat and the community's survival will no longer hinge on its able-bodied boatmen.
This, in turn, will ease at least some of the desperation surrounding the ongoing sex-crimes prosecution; the trauma of crime and punishment in a small community will remain, but a conviction will not spell the end of the islands.

Unlike virtually anyone else in Airstrip One, Winston seems to understand that he might be happier if he were free.
Orwell emphasizes the fact that, in the world of Airstrip One, freedom is a shocking and alien notion: simply writing in a diary—an act of self-expression—is an unpardonable crime.

 Stop Smiling Magazine: The magazine for high-minded lowlifes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In 1985, novelist Ian Slater published Orwell: The Road to Airstrip One, a very mediocre book about a very exceptional man. In 2003, Slater and his publishers released a second edition of the book because of all the attention Christopher Hitchens drew to the subject with Why Orwell Matters a year earlier.
Slater offers another advantage that Airstrip One ostensibly has over Why Orwell Matters: “Hitchens' book is largely a skewering of critics who, willfully or unwittingly, misquote Orwell for their own purposes, and it assumes that the reader is familiar with the British literati.
Mine does not.” Aside from this rather reductive description of Hitchens's book (as part of an intricately detailed description of the intellectual and historical context in which Orwell wrote, Hitchens deals with the French and American literati as well), Slater assures that we don't have to be well-read to appreciate his book.
