WONDERFUL! ... Elmira-Corning Regional Airport (E.-C.R.Ap.) would be
closed to any general aviation onna counta The Mall but Harris Hill could
survive by tearing down the hangars and Museum. Wouldn't the little hut
certain to be required for the TSA inspectors would have to be closer than
1500ft to the site lest they have to walk to work? Perhaps someone should
explain the difficulty of hijacking a sailplane or the risk/return equation
to stop a rampaging Piper Cub.
Does this guy take LSD with his cheerios?
