    And yet, they could find the budget to build a new airport. Curiouser and curiouser.

    Amor welcomed the move of Cong. Pryde Henry Teves to build a three-kilometer airport in Bacong town, with an initial funding of P500 million.

    Something stinks here. No money but over 10 million USD for a new airport. I wonder how much Amor wants for his land. I think that would be very interesting. Any of the members who know him have an idea?

    I know the problems, but I live next to the airport, I enjoy watching the planes land and take off. If they move I will miss it.

    I know, I have enjoyed the beach near the airport and if you are ready you can capture some great pictures of planes landing from the sea approach.

    The situation seems to get more curious by the week. In a conversation with one of the staff in Mia's restobar last night, she said that she was worried about her house in San Miguel barrio, in Agan-an, being taken by the government. When I asked why, she said for the development of a new runway to the existing airport. Unsure if any of you know but over 49 houses were dismantled, a couple of weeks ago in Maslog, near the beach front in Sibulan. Official reasons were that the owners, the Bouffard (Ramon) brothers from Bais, wished to reclaim their land, adjacent to their extremely long fishponds. They roughly lie NE to SW, which would be a more sensible direction than the existing runway pattern(W to E), if the Bacong project fails to come to fruition. Anyone else hear of this?

    No I, but I can say runway alignment tends to favor wind direction so you can take off and land into the wind. Strong crosswinds can be a challenge. The other consideration is terrain. In my experience, most airports use non-precision approaches (i.e. don't have ILS) in the Phils so terrain clearance is a good thing. I had was on a trip to Lagazpi and we couldn't descend low enough to see the ground so had to go back to Manila, what a pain.

    Aw fer cryin' out loud. "The air from the fan is deflected out the side of the engine, creating a massive amount of drag". ANy high school physics student knows that drag is the force in one direction and thrust is the force in the opposite direction so of course drag is also "reverse thrust". Stop treating us like we are stupid just because you spent some time with your head in the clouds.

    The thing is I don't think you can just "buy a few trees". If that was all it was you could just buy a few trees, cut them down and he could plant some really fast growing varieties and in 3-4 years you would be back in the same place. It's his land. You either need to come to an accommodation with him because partially impairing the enjoyment of his land ownership isn't going to work.

    Suppose someone decided you needed to be kicked out of your house, furniture included, every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month and only pay you 1k php a month for the privilege? Shouldn't you be deliriously happy the 26-29 days of the month you are not kicked out? I think you would find it seriously impairs your enjoyment, so if your property must be taken, it needs to be taken in totality and you be given fair recompense, replacement cost elsewhere. I haven't got the link but I saw something about this in Philippine law on an internet ambulance chasing lawyer site. You sound like you come from a country that is more socialist than not where they can p*ss in your cherios at will. No wonder you left, but you brought the attitude with you.
