It was Fall River. The city built a landfill right next to the airport, which attracted a lot of birds. Pilots complained about the birds because they were all over the traffic pattern and on the airport. Because the landfill made money and the airport didn't, the city closed the airport. Taunton has an airport with a GPS/NDB approach. If you need an ILS (fog happens), try New Bedford. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:11:05 AM PST US From: "Dwork, Robert" Subject: RE: TeamGrumman-List: Re: I love my Tiger (aka fuel costs) -> Tau nton --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Dwork, Robert" -----Original Message----- From: owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of David Feinstein Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 6:33 AM Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Re: I love my Tiger (aka fuel costs) -> Taunton --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "David Feinstein" # It was Fall # River that disappeared, right?

It's like the kid who brings the only bat to a softball game, nobody particularly likes the bat, so he takes it home and there's no game. Maybe would've been better to take the chance on the birds (although, ironically, my one and only bird strike was at Taunton - never went back and I guess that's why I thought Taunton had closed - it was kind of a traumatic experience). We're running out of friendly abutters. Houses don't like aiports, golf courses don't like 'em (see recent extensive thread in AOPA Forums), even landfills can't co-exist with them. I'm thinking the only popular adjacent use for land next to an airport is a cemetary! ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:47:06 AM PST US From: "James Courtney" Subject: RE: TeamGrumman-List: Relocate to CA --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "James Courtney" No kidding! The "new" A36 is a '75 model so I have some research to do... Thanks!

You guys might be missing something. I believe in Los Angeles County, if not in all of California, that once your plane is 30 years old (maybe 35, not sure) it then qualifies as an antique or classic or some such designation. At that point you become exempt from the yearly property tax as long as you display the plane to the public one day a month. That amounts to leaving your hangar door open for look-i-lu's, or perhaps if it's parked outside having some sort of a sign saying "this is a Grumman AA...". I know my plane isn't quite old enough yet, but if I owned a '76 I'd be calling the county tax assessor to see if I qualify. Bill Kelly AA1C 39065 ('78) Lancaster, CA ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:56:22 AM PST US From: "Steve Davis" Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Relocation to Ca. --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Steve Davis" In Bakersfield, Ca at L45 I rent a hanger from the city. But I have to pay the cities property tax on the hanger and any improvements. about $88.00 last year. My Hanger rent is only $160.00 a month, which is a good deal, but I fought the tax with the city and lost. The county accesses the airplane property tax which is about 1% a year .

As for moving to CA and paying sales tax, I think it's only if you've owned the plane less than 9 months. That's the number I seem to remember. Where in CA are you planning to move?

Plus, housing costs will go up because there'll be no tax base to pay for roads, sewers, power, and water in new developments. The builder will be stuck with $50,000 to $$75,000 in fees just to build a house that used to cost $80,000. That same house will cost the equivalent of $500,000 today. The house I bought in 1982 for $69,000 in the hell hole of Lancaster is worth $320,000 today. If they pass the equivalent of Prop 13, buy as much property as you can leverage. Then hang on to it. With luck, your kids will be out of school.
