We need more people who *want* planes flying over their houses -- perhaps municipalities wouldn't be shutting down so many airports. One of my strong childhood memories is the Air Canada DC-9's on final to CYAM right over the tops of the pine trees at my grandparents' cottage at Sault Ste. Marie. I don't remember anyone every complaining. When I was old enough to sleep by myself in the back shed, I'd wake up every morning at 7:00 to walk my dog after a DC-9 flew over. Air Canada uses turboprops into CYAM nowadays, but my grandmother (and the family cottage) are still going strong. It's nice to have a towered airport within a few minutes' drive of the cottage -- I'm planning to fly my family in this summer for a few days. Best of luck with the move. > I'll try to get a few items off of David's wish list ticked off before > then. :) That sounds great. I find the YASim code very easy to read and understand, expect when my near-total ignorance of elementary physics gets in the way.
