Some of you have PMed me about this topic. This is a general question and topic that I asked to all of us and wish not to highlight or single out anyone club or peoples. Therefore I wish not to respond your PM's please, sorry. But if you really must know, I did say here in "California", as I am most familiar with this area. And if it's really burning you, go look at my profile for where exactly I live. Really it's not important............

Now..., I was recently told that a municipal airport in our area, that IS out in the middle of farmland (cow land), is also being threatened to be closed for noise issues. I don't think that the cows mind (someone will say it sours the milk...) As we were there talking about this issue we saw a full scale (who made much much more noise than the two models that were in the air) fly over us, on his downwind leg and fly over a brand new housing development just to the south of the field.

Right now, here in my home, as I'm typing this, I heard a train blowing at crossing about 2 miles away, 10 seconds or so ago I heard a plane with a LOT of prop noise fly over my house and if I open my back door, I can hear noise coming from the freeway.

My point is there is a lot more ambient noise around than what models flying produce... Sorry, but I'm still not convinced............

I am still in firm belief that the land we are standing on is more valuable than our recreation or hobbies will ever produce with our current disposition. We need to become more than just another place were men (for the most part) can play with their toys. Things like after school programs touch the hearts of people whom have a louder voice than us or AMA and if we become friends with them maybe we can hopefully keep some of our fields. I was telling a friend just the other night that it's just L*B*R*L hysteria and that they will not be happy until all of us are sitting at home watching TV and paying taxes.

One person mentioned in a previous post "forgetting about AMA's help." WHAT...??? If it wasn't for us paying our dues...then they might not exist...? Like the FREQUENCY thing, I think we are going to need their help................
