So the airstrip is not being used as far as we know? Good. I must have missed that in the report on the news last night. I recorded it, just haven't gone back to watch it again. It would seem to me that if they were using it they could do as the above post says and fly people in an out without being detected.

As far as I know that fact wasn't in the report. I'm telling you what I know first hand. The airstrip hasn't been used in at least 15 years, maybe 20. Synanon lost their permit for it and they actually built a number of buildings along the strip and used it as a road. It may be possible for a small plane to land there, but it would have to be careful of the buildings on one side. No plane is going to land there without being noticed. It is not a place where small planes fly around. If one came in a lot of residents would hear it and see it.

My comments on the utility of an airstrip were hypothetical.

If you are local to the area, and say it's not being used, and couldn't be without detection, that's good enough for me.

Thank you for the first hand information. Have you seen this place, or do you live near it?
You say that those who live near it know more about it than we do, and I am sure you are correct. Notice in the news report the neighbors were hesitant to speak, some hid their idenity because they were afraid of repirsals.
Yet a lot of the spin from the "village" is that they are afraid since the attack on the WTC and Pentagon that people would go after them. In fact, they removed the sign from in front of their property.
