Screw him (Randy Walker). Experimentals are issued airworthiness
certificates from the FAA just as are certified aircraft. If they
restrict experimentals from using the "public use" airports, they can
(and
should) forfeit Ferderal funding. Has a certified airplane ever crashed
and killed an innocent on the ground? Nuff said.


That is exactly what the developers want.

Tom, is your point that RE developers did not use the proximity to the
airport as a selling point?


They did not openly disclose it. What they would desire is to close the
airport so that land could further be turned into urban blight.
