Experimentals To Be Banned To Rural Airports?
"Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe" wrote in message... That was some thread a while ago. Someone was convinced that living at an airpark was something like a suicide attempt. Data to the contrary was dismissed as obviously wrong because living near a runway was pre-determined to be dangerous. Yeah, and the originator of that thread claimed to be a "real estate developer with aviation interest". I read that as: the fox says to the chickens "just passing thru". |

OK, at least there is a consensus that airparks, as golf courses, are hazardous. As I look back on the thread about this subject, I see the same sorts of blinded airpark enthusiasm. What I find from "Living With Your Plane" and many other rationale discussions is the admittance to the hazards. |

What you see is people acknowledging risks associated with any endeavor -- not specifically airparks. There is nothing to suggest any additional hazard due to airparks. In fact, the presence of hangar space should reduce hazards, due to lower environmental degradation than planes exposed to the elements. You will find your share of doofuses in any activity -- especially when shaving or brushing your teeth. -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me. |
