Cross-country from 7 till 9:30 pm.

Tom:
I am sorry to hear that the low flying aircraft have disturbed your
Sunday afternoon again. I will try to chase down the culprits if I can.
I will start with forwarding this message to Red Eagle Aviation because
there are only two red helicopters that come near the Kalispell City
Airport. One is the ALERT helicopter and the other one belongs to Red
Eagle Aviation. If the ALERT helicopter is coming in from the south
going to the hospital it comes right next to the City Airport.
Airplanes should be climbing out and up as they leave the airport and
should not be a problem. If I remember correctly you live north of the
KGEZ towers and we try to get our aircraft to go south of the towers as
they climb out to avoid your place. I will see what I can come up with.
Thanks for your information.

Again we are getting more and more lower flying aircraft over our home.
As I have repeatedly said, we must be on a due east course from the
airport as they are flying the same direction each time-that is the ones
who aren't flying landings. I have begun to believe with all the
airport hubbub that this is deliberate. The last one so far today was a
helicopter at app. 4:50 PM who couldn't have been a hundred feet over my
house. It appeared to be red, but all I could see was the rear portion
as it headed to the airport. I stayed away from all those protest
meetings and have tried to be fair, but these so-called "fly-boys" are a
bunch of selfish self centered so and so's anymore as far as I'm
concerned. 5:08 PM, there went another plane. I guess any nice Sunday
I can kiss off to allow these guys their little hobby. Is this what we
get from the "city fathers'" decision to keep that place going? I say
thanks for nothing. Tom Read
