Reasoning here?


I won't speak for Orval but I wouldn't buy such a lot because if the owners don't own the runway who ever does could
sell it out from
under you and you end up with a house with a big garage.

There can still be problems. We had one in Wisconsin where a lawyer
bought one of the lots. Built a nice house without a hangar. Then
got the runway shutdown because of noise!



Holy crap! if there were ever a case for justifiable homicide. Bertie
They should have written their HOA materials better. We had to sign something at closing that stated we knew we were
in and aviation community, there were landing aircraft and we couldn't do anything about it (not quite the wording,
but the jist is the same).

Because we are a privately owned public use airport, we pay no property taxes on the common areas. That tends to be a
good incentive to keep the runway open, at least for us ;-)
