Kite flying

We have a small city park on the north end of our airport. It is not
uncommon to sometimes have to dodge kites on the approach to the
airport. Usually have the police go out and explain the situation to them.

Wow, how high were they flying those kits? 100 feet would seem quite
high for a kite. Maybe I'm wrong here.

Your City Council/Park Board should post signs in the parks.

Ross ain't kidding! I flew into SWI a week or so ago to partake of the $2.76
100LL and had to dodge kites on final. Fortunately some kind soul warned me
on the radio before I got there.

I called the police dept. and advised them of it, and the kites were gone by
the time I left.
