Most people don’t realize how tight that airport is. I ride a motorcycle in the summer, and take 124 to work. When you’re not in a car, you’re especially cognizant of how low those planes come in across the road. Some can’t be more than 20 or 30 feet over the ground, you can feel the turbulence as you’re riding underneath them.
It still freaks me out when I feel that. I wouldn’t have a problem with them shutting the place down.
Interesting. Of course, the same could be said for National Airport. What a tight place that is.
On another note, looking at map - there is another mosque near the airport off 124, eh?
And, I didn’t know my cousin was police chief in Monty Co!
This first came up as an issue about 30 years ago when developers started building out there because the land was cheap.
I go to church pretty much just down the street and have mixed feelings about it. It was a fun place to take the kids on a Sunday, but this isn’t the first accident there.
The issue is that it is in fact an emergency landing site for the three major airports and after they closed College Park it is one of the last.
