I think you would have more mileage if you stuck to your particular reasons for opposing, rather than just being another among many hundreds all citing every single argument they have ever heard against wind turbines. Your arguments about the airstrip will get lost if you do not ensure that the decision-makers focus on those, rather than "why we all hate wind turbines".

Looking at the route corridor options next to your airstrip, these consist of a corridor about 2.5km wide. You are just outside its eastern extremity. That seems to me to give reasonable prospects of negotiating a route which is at least a kilometre or two out on your final approach/climb out and therefore gives you good prospects for continuing safe operations in the presence of the pylons. I'd suggest that you engage with the developers in as detailed a way as you can, to achieve that aim.

I have some experience with this sort of thing if you're interested.
