Actually, it was owned by Republic Aircraft (hence the name) for the longest
time. The "I was here first" arguement unfortunately will not get a
pro-airport person very far. It will envigorate a me-against-you attitude
and impede progress even though it's a true statement. The fact is, both
entities are here now and both have a right to be there so they better
figure out a way to live together.

I am also right smack-dab in the middle of the most emotionally-charged

ILS-equipped runway

Let me guess... The airport has been there a lot longer than the houses?
Far longer than the residents have lived there? Longer than many of them
have been alive?
