Well, it is totally insulting to portray runway extensions and second
runway options as necessary for safety, and that's what these guys are
doing. Absolutely insulting, and they are trying to pull a fast one on
the community. They think of the general public as stupid, and they are
arrogant: that will be their undoing.

No one wants to close the airport down. (Well, some of the Luddites from
Stop the Noise may want to, but not realistic people.) We just want them
to be responsible and not stick their hands in our wallets.

They do need to move the existing runway about 500 feet from the taxiway
to meet FAA regulations because of the increase in operations and
increased usage by private jets: thats the safety part. But they wrap
the expansion (which is what they REALLY want) into the safety language.
What BS. Its a total lie by an airport that has proven over and over
(whether it be concern for taxpayers, disregard of noise abatement, water
pollution regs, you name it...) that it just doesn't give a damn about the
community. And, as you can tell, some of us are really ****ed....

This airport is in total contrast to FRG: I lived about 4 nm from that
VERY busy airport until recently. Never made a single noise complaint.
Could hear the airplanes, but rarely if ever were we buzzed.
