Anti-Noise Nuts Take Over Truckee-Tahoe Airport

I'm hoping that this is just sarcastic wishful thinking because it's
about as counterproductive as it gets when dealing with noise
situations like this. As David Bowie said, it's putting out a fire
with gasoline.

Being based at an airport (1V5 - Boulder,CO) that is always in the
crosshairs of the anti-GA loonies, I can say that showing a
conscious effort to mitigate noise helps in a small way to mitigate
the complaints. And yes, 1V5 was here long before the houses but
rational arguments don't hold water with the people making the
complaints.

Before flying into Truckee-Tahoe recently for the first time in
September, I was sure to log into their website and study the arrival
and departure procedures so as to try and not violate their noise
regs. Avoiding overflight of residential areas both in Truckee and
Boulder is a small step to try and avoid the calls to the airport from
the hearing sensitive idiots.

You mean I wasn't supposed to take that sight seeing trip over those
big homes in Boulder on the way home?:-))

I go into BJC and avoid 1V5

No problem, so long you avoid the big house with the observatory and
they can't see your tail number.

Keep messing around I'll start lobbying for that new jail to be built
on Clyde Road!

Unfortunately mine are really big and easy to read. That's why you
have to stay down at tree top level. At 180-190 MPH they don't get a
chance to read them. :-))

Man, talk about a can of worms. They finally picked a spot on the
other side of town, near the new world class three sheet ice arena.
They are still negioating the price of the land and the city
controller is telling everyone we need to build one much larger. So
they just went through the site selection process for something
different than they now want to build. If any one runs agains a
county board member in the next election they are almost guranteed a
win whether they are qualified or not.

If we vote against the money they'll just cut county services (road
patrols as well as parks and recreation) to make up the short fall.
I think the electorate is getting fed up to the point of a possible
referendum preventing them from renting beds which would make a very
large short fall. If they cut services, Then millage renewals will
get voted down even for things considered necessary. They've pulled a
couple of fast ones and gotten caught before with this project and the
voters are not happy. Fortunately the roads are mostly federal and
state funds.

We are about 20 miles East of a large casino. About half our inmates
are drunks and losers that get stopped on the way back to the bigger
cities. If it weren't for them we'd be able to build a small one.
