I guess it's hard to blame people who don't have real exposure to GA
for being uninformed, but still. Those neighbors' concerns are pretty
unfounded, especially about scaring away wildlife.

I live on 20 acres in the country but I hear far more nighttime
wildlife at my local airport than at home. An airpark would be even
better because it probably wouldn't be lighted and would have no
nighttime operations.

One is going in in this area its covenants forbid night operations or
operations before 7:30 am.

I live at 4n0...and we have lights! Lots of wildlife around here, and the animals are pretty numerous also...

Maybe the airpark can't avoid the non-airpark neighbors. Then it might be a
wise thing to have that early morning noise abatement policy written-in
....to help keep the peace, so to speak.

They guy who built the Lino (Lakes) Airpark ALSO built the surrounding
development of houses. Lino Airpark is "somewhat" protected that way. g

Lino Airpark (MY18) is in the northern part of the Twin Cities, MN (near the
Lino Lakes Prison & the I-35 "split")

http://www.corr.state.mn.us/facilities/linolakes.htm
Here's the prison - so you know what you're looking at in Google Earth.
North is to the right in the photo. Airpark is about 1mile north of the
prison. It's an (east-west) grass strip.

THANK YOU GOOGLE EARTH!!!
[Although I don't know how to post a link]
Lino Airpark (Don't type this in)

45° 11' 14" N 93° 7' 50" W.
(Simply copy/paste these coordinates into the "e.g. New York, NY" box in
Google Earth)

We've come close to buying an empty (Airpark) "runway lot" over there -
twice!! My insurance guy snapped up one of the few remaining lots, last
year. Snooze you loose I guess! Google Earth picture was taken well before
the "West End" was opened up for more Airpark lots. Those have since been
sold.

Anoka County-Blaine Airport (ANE) is southwest, maybe 4 miles. Downtown Mpls
is 22 miles on southbound I-35W. Freeway runs next to the prison.

Our car is in our driveway at:
45° 08' 38.27" N 93° 15' 39.64" W
Might be me on the right side of the car - waving. Can't tell. White dot's
too blurry. Heck, I'm not even sure if that's our car - again, too blurry.
It is our driveway.

Oops! I learned you can't copy/past the above coordinates into Google Earth
with the [.] after the W

No [.] in the address box and the Lino Airpark will be revealed. :-)

The development continues around Gunderson's in Owasso, Ok. We close on
our lot next Friday. Now if I can only figure out how to continue to
draw a paycheck from HP here in NW Ark. while I move over there and
build.

The entire square mile section around the strip is specifically aviation
related housing, with access to the runway via taxiway or via the
residential streets. The paved strip is parallel to the grass strip and
the new development abuts the West airport operations boundary.

Check out 36 16 05 N and 95 47 01 W

That is a stupid covenant. I live at Spruce Creek (7FL6), which is the
biggest, most active airpark in the world. We have 1500 homes, 400-600
aircraft, ranging from Cubs to jets, GPS approach, 4000 ft runway and
lights. We also have an abundance of wildlife, including bald eagles,
hawks, blue herons, wood storks, reoseate spoonbills (sometimes),
mockingbirds, cardinals, etc.

The "airplanes scare wildlife" claim is purely bogus and should be
laughed off the podium.
