You've clearly never been in the air over west point. If you pull it up on google maps/earth, our landing area is huge. The airport was originally for pilot training during the war, and it was three runways built in a triangle. Only one is active any longer, but we get the space in the middle of the triangle. In the last 5 years, we've only had one skydiver go in the drink, and that was completely his fault. We have a couple of very solid outs. It's a moot point, however. The governing body of the airport is kicking us out and we have to move airports after 49 years @ WP.
