Thread: Intentional Obstacles next to Private Airports

  1. #41
    got some buddies in the air gaurd told them it was available for touch n go blackhawk landings. My other passion is target shooting, instead of going to the range now I have a 900' straightaway. wonder what scares cows more? airplanes, or the barrel of an AR-15 warming up?

    Talked with FISDO and they seemed interested; wanted pictures, etc... of the tree. They see it as a hazard in the case of an emergency landing. Also talked with the Kentucky department of Aviation, but that wasn't as promising; same with AOPA. They both suggested the owners work it out amongst each other.

    For the time being; plan is to let things cool off a bit. Father in-law called and talked with the neighbor and that didn't go very well. Sounds like the neighbor, an elderly man, is starting to suffer from dimentia.

    It's a fun strip; rolling hill, perfect for a cub; marginal for his C172 unless conditions are optimum. With the obstacle in place, it shuts down the strip for my father in-law. He a decent pilot, but this might be a little beyond his comfort level. If anyone feels like buzzing by and seeing it first hand; 8KY3

    Snert; thats not a bad idea, but finding his insurance carrier and agent might be kinda tough.

    Thanks everyone.

    I was going to say "Tordon", but that is a dead tree that hasn't fallen over yet.

    How's the fence? His cattle could get out a rome the neighbor hood every once in a while?
