The Navy decided, for reasons yet unknown, to site the landing field in Washington County, NC. They then spent time and money 'reverse engineering' their foregone conclusion. They did NOT follow legal procedures, they did NOT follow their own guidelines.
Judge Boyle just shot down their justification.
The hell of it is, there are several other sites in the area which offer no problems and no concerns from local citizens, including a damned good airport which (for other reasons) has been shut down and can be had for a fraction of the cost of building this nightmare.
Looks like some admiral wants to go duck hunting.
I used to live in Washington county in the little town of Creswell.Where is the airport?Is it near Plymouth?There are also lots of black bears in the area.though I dont expect they would affect flights too much...
