Noise Nazis at it Again!

I found that this group has set up a web site at
http://www.freeskies.org . It's rather basic for now, but it says
they're setting up a non-profit organization to help with the legal fees
(extortion.)

throughout the aviation community since an article about its plight
appeared last week on the EAA website, in EAA's member newsletter e-HOT

aerobatic pilots, each a member of International Aerobatic Club (IAC)
Chapter 35, and an aviation business owner operating out of Hanscom
Field (BED) in suburban Boston are defendants in legal cases that, if
successful, could have dire national ramifications for the freedom of
flight.

IIRC I read about this in AOPA Pilot. The plaintiff's lawyer freely
(cheerfully?) admitted that the purpose of the suit was harrassment.

re those Candaian Geese, not only are they noisy, but they poop all
over the place, too......

It soulds like it's time to fight fire with fire, fing a good junk
yard Lawyer, file a couter suit of harrasment, go after them
agressively, and name all of the opponents and their supporters in
the suit. Course it's gonna run about 20 grand just to get started.

You'll have to fix the return add due to dumb virus checkers

I think we should start checking these guys homes for noise pollution. I'll
fly over around 2:00am and see if I can hear anything.
