East Hampton Eyes New Airport Restrictions
“It’ll still stay a publicly owned airport, but it won’t be open generally to the public, it will be a private airport usable only with permission from the town.” (www.danspapers.com) Mais...To be fair, many of the people living around KHTO lived there before there was not so much private jet and helicopter traffic.I'm undoubtedly dating myself, but when I got my license, it was just another place with mostly single engine Cessnas and Pipers. The noisy folks can land at FOK, a former Air Force base with ILS, giant runways, and FBO set up for their rich selves.
I'm with you on that. I am old enough to recall when Mattituck was similar with single engine craft and an occasional multi engine bird. Hardly anyone took offense.
I looked at the "Dan's Papers" web site, just out of curiosity about haw the other half lives. It seems they're also complaining about noise from the Long Island RR. Rich folks gonna rich, I suppose.
All federal funding should be denied into perpetuity.
Public is public - Period.
