I know pilots who were there when it was a state airport. Very few houses around, many farms, and all very happy about having an airport close by. I think the majority of current neighbors also are happy, it is the un-silent minority who makes the biggest stink. Note it costs me $25 to start my annual trip to Florida at sun-up at 6 AM while the airforce can take off and land anytime. We have an 11 pm - 7 am curfew. Who makes more noise? Maybe the surcharge should be based on sound level. Let the noisy Bonanza's change their habits. |
