That has been the question de jour among the rASArs for some months
now. The answer is complicated by the fact that the lease is
delinquent. If the lease was current and paid up (no those are not the
same thing in this case), the leaseholder could control the activities
there to the degree that his ability to pay the lease is dependent
upon doing so. In other words, "I can't pay the lease if I can't run
the business, and I can't run the business if I let anyone come here
and do what they want." The state recognizes that.

But since the lease is expired and in arrears, the situation is
gemucked. A self-launching glider (the DG 400 referenced earlier) has
been operating there over the winter. Powered traffic are still
allowed to operate. But as one of our members pointed out, a motorless
glider cannot take off in formation with a powered aircraft there if a
piece of rope connects them.
