Fortunately, opposition to wind projects is growing rapidly. The United States has seen the rise of about 170 anti-wind groups over the past few years. Ontario in Canada alone has more than 50, the European Platform Against Windfarms has 505 signatory organizations from 23 countries, and in the United Kingdom, some 250 anti-wind groups have formed to fight industrial wind projects in Wales, Scotland, and elsewhere.

Footnotes ...
<1> | When we are planning a trip (for example, to MacGregor Park), we usually look for the obvious: the choice of airlines that fly into the airport, the number of flights, the connections we have to make, which car rentals are available, etc. We also look for sights and attractions that we might find between any given airport and our destination - we do love exploring. We're willing to fly into a more distant airport if we can get the services and amenities that we like. Even though our choice of airport might be inconvenient to others, it usually gives us a better trip. |
<2> | The IATA and ICAO are organizations that, amongst other functions, provide identifying codes for airports. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is an airline trade organization. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is an agency of the United Nations. Although the codes are similar, be careful not to confuse them. |
<3> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- MacGregor Park) to Point B. Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in MacGregor Park. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.7365, Longitude: -78.8056 [Map]. In this case, the coordinates for MacGregor Park have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |

Long-time Maine aviation services provider Mac Air Group has broken ground on an FBO at Portland International Jetport (PWM). The $6 million facility will provide a 13,000-sq-ft, two-story terminal with a crew lounge and quiet room, flight-planning center, crew cars, showers and fitness center, along with a passenger lounge, conference room, on-site car rental, concierge and catering service. Plans call for 30,000 sq ft of hangar space to shelter aircraft up to a Global 6000. Mac Air says the facility will provide quick turns.
The company had previously operated an FBO at PWM, before divesting the aircraft handling service to concentrate on its Part 145 maintenance, aircraft charter and sales operations. That facility was later acquired by current FBO operator Northeast Air. Mac Air will continue to provide maintenance on the opposite side of the airport, which has a 7,200-foot main runway. Completion of the new pre-fab steel facility is anticipated early next year.
