[Maroon 5.0 LX]

As a former professional pilot, the same situation angers me about small airports. Some have been around for ages, such as your track. The counties issue building permits to build subdivisions at the end of the existing runways.

Stupid people buy these houses without knowing there is an airport there, and then complain about the noise, close proximity to the end of the runways and other stuff.

The next thing you know, they try to close down the airport. They don't build too many small airports anymore, as the cost of land is out of sight. As your track, these businesses bring in a lot of money and offer employment, but it seems the tax base means more to the politicians. Too many politicians are using their personal agends while in office, instead of what the people want. Just another way for them to get fat.
