Cool, let's hope it's not another train.

We have found lots of material that supports the tax payers and their
right to use the airport.
That's good to hear Homer, I hope it all works out for you. Keep us
informed. Your efforts might be helpful to others that face the same
obstacle.

Ditto. But,... "right to use" often precludes commercial ventures. Read
the details carefully on what the Local Authority considers a Business and a
Personal transaction. An attorney will gleefully take your money and explain
the finer details.
While you are fighting the good fight, consider forming and incorporating a
social flying club with easy in/out membership. Then lease the club your
plane and let members use you as CFI. This usually slips passed Local
Authorities as a non-commercial venture (especially if you get the IRS 501c7
letter), and may be far more palatable to the Owner Only Nazis who seem to
run the field.

The FAA FSDO, Bob Newell is very careful when he tells me that the
verbiage in the "Grant Assurance Clause" will have all of the answers
I need. he implied that I do not have a case. The problem is, he

"I think" he's probably referring to the airport requiring the same
for all. Ours did the same, but eventually the requirements for a
business being applied to an individual were counter productive. They
did pass some rules requiring registration of those doing maintenance
(through the fence) and some fees . So far they haven't enforced such.

As for fees and registration, the airport's insurance policy may
require it and liability insurance.

also told me that he could not get me a copy of that document and that

They are about as easy to get as the daily newspaper...OK, almost.
Call the AOPA (which has been suggested several times) and ask for
"FAA Order 5190.6A, Airport Compliance handbook, Grant Assurances, and
Airport Improvement Trust Fund" These three booklets should have the
information you need and they are free. I'm looking at a set and it
only took a phone call to the AOPA get them.
The AOPA can give you more, good and up-to-date information in one
phone call than you'll get on here in a month.

I'd have to get it from Sand Springs. In essence, and according to
Bob Newell at the Oklahoma FSDO, the FAA is telling me that I am on my
own.
I hope that anyone reading this message board understands that this is
not about me. This is about you and your tax dollars being used to
build hundreds of beautiful airports all over the country that you in
fact are not welcome to use.
I have legal representation, and god willing I'll have the finances to
fight this. In the mean time, be careful if you get your plane worked
on, or your flight review performed at Sand Springs, William Pogue
Airport- it might not be legal...hehehehe
I wonder if it would be legal to get a blow-up doll, dress it as a
Spartan Student and teach it how to fly for free, all day every day at
the sand Springs William Pogue airport, just a thought...

Don't worry about the airport manager unless you see a pile of
sandbags with a 50 cal. sticking out or anti aircraft battery. LOL
