Sport Pilot Talk

A small general aviation airport in rural New Jersey known as “Solberg” has been under withering assault for nearly a decade by the local township. Solberg has been around forever and is enjoyed by pilots and aircraft owners up and down the East Coast and beyond. A lovely family owns it and they have been nearly bankrupted in trying to protect what was legally theirs to peaceably enjoy.

Well, they won a huge victory. Not only did the judge hearing the eminent domain claim turn the township away, it assessed millions of dollars in fines against it.

BTW, the Balloon Fest is great!

I get a Page does not exist error.

But selecting <Home> takes me to the blog and the current first entry is the topic piece. Good for them!

The annoying thing is all those "fines" will go to the government, none to the property owners actually harmed by these stupid lawsuits.

Agreed, it's a circle-jerk.

Re-copied the link. Hopefully corrected the problem, not sure why it failed.
