HTN: Residents Complain About Planes
Some area residents are expressing concern that a small local airstrip is not operating safely. Residents say that small planes leaving Buffalo-Lancaster Airport off Walden Avenue are flying too close together, possibly at unsafe altitudes. Planes generally take off in a westbound direction, but turn south, in order to avoid Buffalo-Niagara International's air space, right over a subdivision along Nichter and Pavement Roads. Airstrip owner Tom Gelles, has applied for government grants to extend his runway 23-hundred feet east.

Are these people stupid, blind, or dishonest? The airport was there when they bought their homes. It's a bit disingenuous to cry now.
I am also curious how a bunch of CIVILIANS can determine unsafe airspeed, altitude, separation, and all the other things the PILOTS and ground control are trained to observe and work within.
The airport is operating safely and legally.
It's all for show. There's a SCUM-SUCKING, BOTTOM-FEEDING, LOWLIFE LAWYER somewhere at the root of this.
