Who was there first, the club, or the complaining neightbors? I know that it really doesn't matter (but it should). Another example of people not fully investigating what they're buying (when thay always claim "we didn't know about the flying field when we moved in next door to it") and then banding together to force the flyers out. I'll bet not one of them complains when the neighbors' lawnmowers or weedeaters are going.
Sounds like the flyers were there first.
"Neighbors -- who say they moved there for the rural atmosphere -- turned out Monday night to tell planning commissioners in Brooksville they don't appreciate the sounds of 'chainsaw engines' in their pastoral refuge.
"People don't want to look out their back yard and be looking at (portable toilets), cars and concession stands and hear the noise of these planes," said attorney Anita Geraci, representing one of the nearby property owners.
"We came out here to live in the country, not to hear airplanes all day long," chimed in resident Jack Deal."
It is interesting that the complainers call it "their pastoral refuge"...as if they own the land.
