That sort of logic is lost on them. The airport has been there since
before the houses were built. That doesn't stop people moving into the
neighborhood and then complaining. I can see their point about the
G-III's that take off at 5:30am, that's just rude but the majority of
aircraft going in are single engine props, and even a lot of the
biz-jets are not all that noisy.

I hope and suspect that it will all blow over once the real costs of
this lame proposal are worked out.

Have you ever asked them if they don't like airplane noise, why
did they move next to an airport? I wouldn't like a train going past
my house all day....so I don't live next to train tracks. It's kind of
maddening when people move next to an airport and then are
annoyed by the airplane noise and try to close the airport..

BDR is a good little airport. There are only 2 FBO's now, 3-wing and
Atlantic Aviation. 3-wing I don't have any dealings with but I've heard
they are expensive. Atlantic caters more to the netjets types but I've
had very good service from them for my 100LL orders.

There are several approaches to the airport, the tower is open from 6:30am
to 10pm and the AFSS is not far from the terminal building if you want a
walk up briefing.

I'd hate to see that area used for anything BUT an airport.

I live in the noise abatement area and from time to time people do fly
directly over the houses which they are told not to do and do it anyway.

The majority of my neighbors don't like the airplane noise but I think it
has more to do with the Gulfstream III's taking off at 5:30am and rattling
windows than the quiet drone of the 4 cylinder lycoming doing touch and
goes.

Those neighbors of mine that aren't completely closed minded about the
airport I take flying with me and make converts out of them. There are an
awful lot of neighbors though and so little time.

OK, I just replooked at the sectional. There is a class D for KJSD,
but it is not easy to spot on the sectional and abuts the class for
BDR. That's tough!
BDR is not a great field, and the FBO's are not very friendly.
