I live near the end of the runway of a small airport. It's illegal to build
anything taller than 65' where I live, ie a 20:1 glide slope, but sometimes
at night when the twin turboprops land right over my house, full-throttle,
full-flaps, I think about barrage balloons, tethered at 64'. Aluminized mylar,
perhaps, like those gift balloons that say "Surprise!" :-)
