Apparently my previous posting was so poorly worded that it left the impression that we generally operate in a dangerous and irresponsible manner. This is not the case. There has been only one instance that might be so described and that was Bill's recent unintended flight. It was to this flight only that I was referring when I said it was difficult to defend.
The only other incident in our history occurred 2 years ago when a fuel pump failure on takeoff resulted in an off field landing with no injuries and minor damage.
This is not a record of dangerous and irresponsible flying practices.
We are not sitting on our hands waiting for the ax to fall and are actively negotiating with the town. Only this one incident has been cited against us and one incident does not constitute a practice.

Thats good to hear Ed, from the last post it sounded like you guys were ready to pack up and leave. Its nothing short of unjust and hypocritical that the county would want to close an ultralight strip at the first accident, if that was the standard every recreational activity in the US would have to be closed down. There have been accidents in the past where I fly, and there will be more, Accidents happen, in any sport... I hope William has a speedy recovery and gets in the air. It really suck to go through that he has and never get to fly !
