OK Spaceport OK in 2005
I just got a call from Bill Khourie (pronounced 'curry'), Director of OSIDA who let me know that they are putting their finishing touches on Oklahoma's spaceport application with FAA AST and environmental impact statement and are targetting December 2005 for approval for horizontal takeoff horizontal landing vehicles. He said they would be delighted to be approached by the vertical crowd and would be pleased to welcome them assuming AST says OK.

Wednesday, 15:30 CDT: One of the vertical crowd emailed me and said that they already approached OSIDA some time ago and "would be pleased" might not be enough to get a new AST spaceport application filed.

I have also got someone letting me know that OSIDA has said they were this close before, but I cannot verify any quotes from OSIDA on this.
I did find the following:
http://www.okspaceporteis.com/downloads.htm seems to indicate there has not been much action since 2002 (what's new has a November 2002 document) and that FAA missed their date to post a draft EIS (spring 2005).
