I'm with you on this Divosh. If people are taking potshots at the facility then what should happen is the police should be involved, track down the perpetrators and lock them up. The aid should then be repaired. It's all a bit too convenient to just say it's too dangerous so let's just shut it down. I mean what are these idiots going to target next?? Peoples houses??
The aids at YWE and CWS should not be decommissioned. They are important for training and currency as others have said. Surely fewer aids available for these purposes is only going to add an increased cost burden, and possibly decrease safety if there are multiple aircraft practicing in the same area OCTA. Or am I over estimating how many people will be wanting to use them given the deteriorating state of GA..?
