The project will provide much-needed relief to the present congestion at CTIA without complicating passenger connectivity

Point 1. This will take away most of the flying area of microlights.
Point 2. I dont want commercial aircraft flying over my house in Philadelphia. They can make use of Ysterplaat where there is less fog.
Point 3. People are not going to travel nearly 45km because its busy at CTIA. They will still go to CTIA.
Point 4. This is farmland area and must be used as zoned.

I'm not yet a pilot, but i think the guys at Morningstar and Wintervogel must set up something to stop this. I just love to see you guys up in the air early mornings and i dont want this to change.
There is a few farmers i know of that want to sell there farms because of planned development on the West Coast. These farmers will look at any type of development as long as they score big time out of the deal.
Agent, what is happening with your aviation estate near Malmesbury, because if this airport goes through, then your estate is out the backdoor?

I have been busy with this the whole day guy's.
Our application has been approved and they have not even started.
I am not going to let the cat out of the bag but we are in the process of fabricating a website that will tell all on our developement soon.
This morning I was worried but now totally relaxed because of facts given to us.
We want to do it right so patience please, soon you will see what we are up to, believe me you will love it.

We are doing an alternative 7 km outside Malmesbury and it's an aviation estate with plenty hangers clubhouse and residential estate.
The full will be revealed when we are ready, not to make fools of ourselves.
