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".

this opinion stated three or four times in this thread. Care to comment?


HUH???? What hazards of airparks? There has been nothing in this thread
about it!


What hazards? Get serious, air parks like any other airfield have
hazards.


Golf developments have more.

How about "a fox with an interest in chickens?"

Just like roads, parking lots, water buckets, bicycles, frozen salmon...

More? 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.

WRONG!

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.

In the context of this discussion 'experimental' is a misnomer. Many,
if not most homebuilt airplanes are classed by the FAA as
'experimental',
even popular kitplanes of proven design.

Even a certified factory aircraft may be reclassified as "experimental".
