Usually airports are placed as out of the way as possible, and if they
must be in populated areas, the minimization of take off and landing
corridors passing over residential areas as much as possible is done.

So are rifle ranges, but then a bunch of idiots and soccer moms buy into the
developers' brochures and build houses next to them, and then expect
sympathy.

Not Our Problem, unless you also want to close down PDX, Troutdale, LAX,
SeaTac, Dallas and any other airport that causes jets to arrive and depart
over populated areas.

Go on....get it done. We need replacement airports in place and ready to
serve before the others are shut down, the way Denver handled the Stapleton
phase-out.

But my comment was actually pertinent to the air show, that it's a
disaster waiting to happen, and that as such it should be relocated.

Nope. Developers and NIMBYs lost the day. Such is the will of the people,
which--I understand--has nothing to do with the will of the developer and
the NIMBY soccer mom, but, in this case, tough-titty-said-the-kitty.
F/A-18s inbound!
