RE: Planes (2)Good Morning Guys,
It would be greatly appreciated to the color and or type of helicopter
so I could educate them personally. Just for your information there are
only two “approved” routes that I have been pushing from the SE and they
are SW of the towers and the other is straight in from the river, over
the County shop and industrial area.
I have no problem talking to anyone as long as I can know who it is. I
have not had any opposition from any pilot when I speak to them.
Have a great day,
Jim Pierce

We have a few aircraft coming in from the remote dirt and grass strips
in the valley to park at the City Airport until their landing field are
dried up and not so soft or muddy. That accounts for some of the low
flying small aircraft. As for the helicopters, they are required to
avoid the flow of fixed wing traffic unless they are staying in the
traffic pattern for training. So, depending on the fixed wing traffic,
the helicopters get out however and whenever they can. We encourage
them to delay a few minutes instead of shooting out below the fixed wing
traffic. We will try to remind our crews and see if we can get more
cooperation. Thanks

Hi, we are again getting the low flying planes and an increasing number
of helicopters. They are beginning to eclipse the good guys who go out
of their way to be kind to us-to them I am very thankful. I am unsure
as to why they seem to fly right over my house when heading easterly,
but numerous people do. The good guys go around the towers and then go
east. The helicopters are doing it going out as well as in. Thanks, Tom
