"The reason for moving the flight paths now is the new tower under
construction at the hospital."

Sounds like the neighbors should be fighting the hospital


Maybe get the AOPA to see if the hospital can be torn down, so as to
better accomodate the airport's needs. ;-)

I like the writer's point about airports' encroachment on surrounding
residential areas. GA airports in communities that have grown should only
be expanded if the affected communities agree to the expansion after an
open and honest assessment of the pros and cons. As we have seen again
and again and again, once the airport is expanded, the community loses
control to the FAA meatheads who unconcerned about the negative effects of
GA.
