most anti-aviation city in the nation

wayne, i feel your pain, just like i do for the chapt member involved
with this episode of justice denied. while, it probably won't bring
hombuilding to a total halt in the county, it will just force some of
us to be more discrete in our activites. i work at a commercial
facilitie that could be used for assembly and construction of aircraft
components. i can't help but think that it all revolves around
property value and city taxes collected for that property value. they
want every last penny they can squeeze outta ya so they can pay for
their over zealous city expansion and national football franchise and
stadium upkeep, not to mention interstate highway expansion, while the
intercity traffic becomes longer daily grid-lock. and don't forget, as
a city, we are trying to better dc's record for cut'n and kill'n this
year. thats expensive too, u know. finally, wayne, our chapt pres
lives in a different county, not affected by this ruling, yet! but
since he has a very nice, brand new shop, with an almost completed
midget mustang still needing work, he has concerns that his local gov
might go over the stupid end, also. u just get the feeling u r being
treated like the ultra lite folks that used to operate on the fringe or
outside the legal faa guide lines. i guess i am more concerned that
eaa hd qts did not jump on this one issue immediately and do something
but instead, there has been less than zero response from them. so far,
we have had no problems from the insurance companies about vehicles of
any sort, including aircraft. maybe they too busy worrying about
hurricane damage to let something like aluminum or pop rivets concern
them for the moment. as u know, there r some of us more into the
building than the flying so it strikes a cord when u feel singled out,
for no reason. i been flying since '56 and building since '89 and as
far as i know, it has never hurt anyone.

Hi guys,

My name is Wayne McCullough and I am a current EAA chapter president.
My homeowners insurance was cancelled because of a current Kolb project
being worked on at my home....23 acres in Effingham County
Georgia........No runway allowed, no storage of aircraft of any
kind......

And then I read this, and Duval County is Jacksonville,
Florida........Amazing what the politicians can do behind closed
doors.....

Eaa national has not responded to any of my e-mails as of yet.....All
of this I found out last Monday......


Been doing experimentals for 12 years, and I did not know I was not
living in America anymore.
