RE: "commissioners ruled the club may continue, but must operate only from 9:00 am till dusk. Activities will have to comply with the county's noise ordinance, and there will be no flying on Sundays," this isn't news to many of us. More liberal than reaction from many communities, where the only option you have is to go away. The field where I fly most often was established over 20 years ago, after much resistance by neighbors. I'm grateful for the county's noise ordinance. It is not just a limit on how much noise we can generate, but also sets an objective bound on how much the neighbors must tolerate before complaints will be considered to have any merit. It's a compromise, and neither party is expected to be fully satisfied. So it goes in any society - all laws limit freedoms of some people to some extent. Some reasonably, some not.
