most anti-aviation city in the nation

Mr Horton,

I'm not quite sure how to answer your posts concerning anti aircraft
zoning in Jacksonville. You seem to infer that you can call up and talk
to councilmen at will. You must be a powerful man since no one else in
our EAA chapter can get any type of answer from anyone. I like that you
only talked to someone who was involved in the anti aircraft side, but
you somehow seem to know both sides. I hesitate to offer another
opinion since you obviously know much more than the rest of us, but
here goes anyway.
The gentleman that you have labeled an "idiot" is an extrremely cordial
and courteous man. The rest of us have been outraged at the way he has
been treated and have had many suggestions of ways to get even. He has
not contemplated any of them. I commend his civility, as I am not sure
if I would hold up under the same aggravation.
For a year and a half he tried to get along with his neighbor, but
nothing he did satisfied her. Yes, sometimes when he needed the room he
would work on things in his front yard. Oh the humanity! Can you
imagine a country where you are free to pursue the things that make you
happy? Wait, the pursuit of happiness, I've heard of that somewhere.
Maybe Brian should move to that country.
Mr Horton I can only imagine that you are one of those people that
think the government needs to be involved in the minutiae of our life,
I do not. Though we do need laws to live by, they should be underpinned
by the live and let live motto. If we all could tell each other what we
would not allow, then no one would be able to do anything.
Brian has done nothing more than excercise his right to do something he
enjoys. By the way, he actually flew a plane he built to Oshkosh and
back from Florida. I wonder what piloting expertise you possess. I
think I'll take my chances with Brian flying in the air space above the
local schools, you I might worry about.

My apologies to your obviously superior knowledge of everything,
Milford

Mr Horton,
You seem to infer that you can call up and talk to councilmen at
will.

I can, at least here in my town, but not because I'm "powerful". I'm
not.

..no one else in our EAA chapter can get any type of answer from
anyone.

Did you establish a prior positive relationship? Did you attend the
public meetings?

..and have had many suggestions of ways to get even.

Good for him. It doesn't works well.

For a year and a half he tried to get along with his neighbor..

By chance has that neighbor lived there quite a while? Not an
assertion, just curious.

Yes, sometimes when he needed the room he would work on things in his
front yard.

Always popular.

Mr Horton I can only imagine that you are one of those people that
think the government needs to be involved in the minutiae of our
life..

Nope.

Brian has done nothing more than excercise his right to do something
he enjoys.

And the result was?.

By the way, he actually flew a plane he built to Oshkosh and back
from Florida.

My compliments.

I wonder what piloting expertise you possess.

Uhhh, I only flew mine to Oshkosh AND Florida.

My apologies to your obviously superior knowledge of everything

I respect a man who defends his friends, right or wrong. I'm serious.
