"Welll. . . If you're going to be honest about it, both major, commercial

airports AND GA airports bring significant nuisance effects to
surrounding

communities."

Of course this is true. But he will not be "honest" about it. The
"nuisance effects" you refer to somehow never make their way into the
economic studies either. I say again: (1) Regulation of noise (or
enforcement of noise abatement) is virtually nonexistent at some GA
airports and (2) self-righteous pilots who simply don't give a damn are a
growing danger to your passion. They spawn Skylunes, and organizations
that will spend time and money to fight back.

Pilots and airport sponsors need to take the lead in policing their own,
as the FAA is hopelessly compromised in their conflicting missions.
