A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the horse farm that is below the departure
end of RW 30 at my home field. My direct access is now gone because my daughter-in-law moved her horse out of there, but just before she left I got the following: The idiot who bought the place and who has been calling the airport ever since any time an airplane flies over had apparently taken to trying to video any planes flying overhead. The other day he was busy trying to video a plane and fell off his roof and broke his leg. I guess this is probably grounds for a lawsuit. Sunday I was returning from a weekend trip and noticed that there was a large yellow sign painted on the roof of his house (large mansion that is part of the farm). Of course I had to fly over to read it. It says, in 10' high letters "NO FLY". My guess is that any plane flying by will have to fly over his house to read his sign. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) |

Maybe he's just advertising the fact that his stables have no flies in them. Or trying to scare off the horseflies. But just to be sure, you should circle over the farm a few times to make sure you're reading the sign correctly. -- Paul Tomblin , not speaking for anybody Real computer scientists despise the idea of actual hardware. Hardware has limitations, software doesn't. It's a real shame that Turing machines are so poor at I/O. |

[...] I missed the original post and I shouldn't speak when I don't know the people involved. But I'll do it anyway: was this maroon aware of the fact that the property he was buying adjoined said airport? You've got to wonder about some folks.... -Scott |

Guys and gals,
Aggravating as it is, I suggest avoiding this guy as much as possible. When the "Let's close the airport and let a developer turn it into high tax value housing." group forms, guess who's going to have lots of time and money to put into the effort. -- Roger Long |

Seriously. If he's got that much money, someone should go over to his
house and offer him a discovery flight. You might turn him into a pilot. "Roger Long" om wrote in message ... Guys and gals, Aggravating as it is, I suggest avoiding this guy as much as possible.
