Thanks. I want to position myself as the voice of reason so I try not to be
too vocal either way. Both sides (airport vs. local civic association) have
their points. The more level-headed neighbors are not against the small
aircraft but are against airport improvements that will allow larger
aircraft to use the remaining runway. Then there are others that are against
anything that flies (like my redneck nextdoor neighbor.)

I try to interject pro-airport reasoning during neighborly conversation but
I use discretion when warranted and try to not make it a big deal.

Good for you! Your being there means that the group has one fewer
homeowner in
it.
