For those complaining about excessive development in the near-runway areas; please explain to me how this King Air crash would have had a totally different ending if it had pancaked into flat open ground at over 100kts, and full of fuel? Do you really believe everyone on board would have just walked away, if there were no buildings there? Where are the study results that show no development within miles of a runway improves air safety outcomes?
What we are seeing is airfields being squeezed. All of their available space being used up for development. Run off space being eroded etc.
Would the DFO outlet not being inside the original airfield boundary changed the out come? Well that is a maybe. But for sure you have more hope slapping it into the grass with wings level than you do bouncing it off the roof of a department store.
On a side note...what is it with DFO and airfields? conspiracy? ( hate conspiracy theories, but gotta ask it on this one)
