Default Amusing exchange of property use

I was searching for an airport I flew out of (9A7) back around the early
90's and when I found the area on Google maps it had been converted to a
prison.
But if you use Live Search their images are about 10 years older and you can
clearly see where the airport was.
This was a little mom and pop airfield in Jonesboro, Georgia that only have
a few planes in the pattern per week.
But many of the local residents complained about the noise those nasty
little planes were making and so the County of Clayton consolidated the
airport further south closer to the
Atlanta Motor Speedway.
I hope the residents are happy that the little airfield is gone replaced by
the sirens of escaping prisoners.


Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... Sorry, I just can't help myself.
