If that bothers you don't think of landing at some of our back country

It's a little different when you miss a landing a kill a few pines v.s. the
neighbor's kids.

The trick is to not "miss a landing"... Can you say,, Go
Around ??????????


No offense but this is like arguing with a 16 yo (not you personally) "Dad,
there is a stop sign, people STOP."


Most houses are closer to the street than any runway is to any house. On
those streets are cars driving just as fast as the average airplane
lands and they way many times more which means there is much more energy
there in the case of an accident.


Then there are trains and train tracks but two things differ.

1) People, right or wrong, don't view the danger the same
2) You can invest a potload of money into an airpark house and because
of perceptions alone, your resale market gets smaller and smaller.
