Man parks plane in driveway
A Long Island aviator has turned his suburban driveway into a private tarmac — and the pilot is now Public Enemy No. 1 with his neighbors and town officials. (nypost.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
...I donno', it looks pretty good to me...adds a little class to the neighborhood, and like WeatherWise said, "they should be happy", it could have a big honkin' radial sitting on the nose...run that up every couple of days!
The only problem with this post is that tarmac is a mixture of tar and macadam that has not been used in 40 or more years because it deteriorates so fast after a little use. Perhaps it was an asphaltic concrete driveway.
From the looks of the driveway in Google Earth and Street View, it appears that the composition of an asphaltic concrete nature, and as such, may be accidentally appropriate. Newsies seem to have an affinity for calling anything an airplane lands upon 'tarmac'. In a similar vein, many people refer to most any cola as 'coke'. Some posters appear to feel there are other problems with the post beyond tarmac.
He should tell all his neighbors to pay him $150 a month each to move it back to the airport.
I would guess that the chief complainer would be his neighbor across the street with the mansion and the yacht. High property values have the most to lose when the neighborhood starts to look different in any way.
