If it was TV, then like Kevin said, I would've expected they would
discuss their plans with the FSDO to head off complaints. Of course, I
would also expect a notice by the course to the nearby homeowners.

Even if the local FSDO gives it the ok and you send out notices,
someone is gonna bitch.

A couple years ago I arranged for a helicopter to land at my nephew's
school. We got the FAA's permission, got the school to buy a
liability insurance policy naming the helicopter operator as
benificiary and sent out postcards to houses within 1/2 mile of the
school. Not an hour after the helo landed, the complaints started
rolling in from the people right next to the school.

Like I said, someone will always bitch...

I think it's a question as to whether the person has a valid bitch.
