Serge: Same thing goes on here. In fact there is a case in Calif. where a developer built an airport and developed the property so pilots could land and taxi their craft to their attached hanger and one would do with a car into their garage. They even zoned open space off the ends of the runways then the folks moved in around thje development and want the airfield closed.
