if they have seen an aircraft in the vicinity they will not have linked it to that long strip of mown grass - aircraft do not land in fields is the usual response
Mr Gasax speaks wisely. To the average joe an aircraft is a big thing with Ryanair painted on the side. Once when I told someone I had bought an airplane she asked "Do you have hosties?" and "What kind of food do they serve?"
Even if people are vaguely aware that there might be smaller ones very few can believe that they can actually land on
grass and
without a control tower. It's not their fault. They don't know about aviation. I don't know about hunting. Maybe you know nothing about stamp collecting. It's not against the law.
