KSMO, a Kalifornia airport

That would still be better then moving to the East Coast.

A buddy of ours has a Sea Harrier.... it's not on the banned list, so it's ok.

Seriously, I don't know how people live out there.

It's like California, but with crappy weather.

...uhhhhhhh...

LOL!

It's never going to end until they succeed in closing the entire airport down. That is their only goal. There are no negotiations, restrictions, rules or whatever which will ever appease them.

Huh... sounds just like Feminists and latter-day Republicans to me.

Here is a home right off the west end of SMO runway for 2.5M built in 2008. They want to relax in their concrete lined prison cell of a backyard patio without those evil Piaggios. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1777-Sunset-Ave-Santa-Monica-CA-90405/20481305_zpid/

Seems like what we have here is a failure to communicate and market effectively. This realtor should be charging a premium for "convenient airport access".

Good to see the English Electric Lightening on there. No sign of the Avro Vulcan, that would probably wake them up a little, and I'm sure we could sneak it in there without them noticing.

Sabre's are on the list....I think I've seen exactly one of those and I'm pretty sure it was a drug running airplane.

There's quite a few of them flying around STL.

Unless you're talking about the old fighter jet, not the Sabreliner.

I see the Sabreliners flying everyday!

I think too, that Flight Safety STL is the only location of theirs that does Sabreliner sim?

I think you're right.

I think ATL FSI has one.

The pistons, as far as I'm concerned, are welcome with open arms in Camarillo, and can bypass Santa Monica and buzz my apartment anytime.

The turbine-powered stuff, on the other hand and as far as I'm concerned, is welcome during daylight hours only. (And I'm not a NIMBY!)

(Incidentally, one of my favorite airport signs ever is - FLY QUIET - AVOID RESIDENTIAL OVERFLIGHTS.)

I don't think most pilots have a problem with that....but what happens when the residential area creeps up and totally engulfs an airport's perimeter? I love the ”hey, when did that airport get built behind my house!?" complaint, because usually the answer is about 30 to 50 years before that house was built.

It doesn't matter how dense the housing, you'll get people bitching around any airport. Here's the airport I fly out of most of the time. It's surrounded by farm fields and an industrial park. Yet regularly gets noise complaints from db's living in some houses a mile west. Vocal whiny self-absorbed people are a pain in the ass all over the place.

Hello Guys:

Actually the only FSI offering Sabreliner courses is at Saint Louis, MI.

We just called days ago and they told us they are no longer offering maintenance courses for the airplane.

BTW, it looks like we just can't go to Santa Monica.

This November we are going to be flying to KAUS for the Formula 1 race..! Hope they don't ban us there after we leave..!

Regards.
