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.

If a community has an airport that gets government funds of any kind,
then

there should be a committee to oversee the operation. If there isn't a
committee, then those who seek redress for greivences should be up their
elected officials rear ends to form one.

If people choose to be sheep and not get involved in their local
government
affairs then they get what they get.

I completely agree with each of your points. People who are asleep, and
THEN complain about something the govt does to them absolutely deserve it.


Probably, many airport noise whiners fall into this camp. Others take a
pro-active stance. Personally, I refuse to accept the FAA/Airport
Authority bum rush and their nonsensical public presentations.
