No one can tell me that one (or more) of Skydive Laconias customers won't end up in the middle of the active runway that they meant to land next to. But that's only one of a whole laundry list of dangers that this ridiculous proposal would incur. |
Did you know that planes occasionally crash while taking off and landing? In another era, would the notion of building the airport have been shot down because a wayward plane might wind up in the recycle center?
I have news for you - it's not your runway and it's not your airport. Did your mother never teach you to share?
