Lol...
The city administrator said they’ve received several complaints from neighbors over the past year, citing noise and safety concerns. In charges filed in Washington County, prosecutors said planes were witnessed taking off and landing in April and again in early October.

Neighbor Rodney Eggers moved into the neighborhood a year and a half ago. He said he’s only heard the planes a couple times.

“Every once in a great while, it’s not like it’s every other day or something. It’s never really bothered me. He’s got enough land there. It’s his land. He can do it if he wants,” Eggers said. “It’s a little loud, but after, you know, a couple minutes it’s up in the air and that’s it.”

Afton’s city administrator said they received complaints about Walker’s airstrip 10 years ago, as well.
- complaints 10 years ago
- flights in april and october
- neighbour doesn't mind
- airport has been there for over a decade

He must have pissed them off in some other way.
If you have room for a 2200 ft grass strip, you don't live in a city.
