The golfers probably have far more political influence than the pilots,
so
beware. If you're inconsiderate of them, don't expect them to be
considerate
of you.

You're an idiot.

The golfers built a course on a 2.7 mile final for the busiest non-towered
airport in Oregon. They have company jets, Columbia helicopters,
countless IFR and private students flying over all day. They turned down
federal funding to resurface the runway, ironically, because the airport was
too busy to close down for the month.

An annual buzz job by three old bombers, in my opinion, adds to the property
value. My wife and I went out and watched them sitting there in silence on
Saturday night. Beautiful.

But MX is partially correct. It's a very upscale gated community; some of
the streets are gated -from- the gated community. On the other hand,
there's stuff that goes on at Aurora that people don't talk about, and
there's plenty of political money involved there, too.
