Lois Frankel will meet at the Lantana Airport on Monday to listen to all the gripes from owners there on how much money they are losing every time President Trump visits his home on the island of Palm Beach. County Commissioner, Dave Kerner, will also attend the meeting as well as the Palm Beach County Airports Director.
It's up to the Secret Service, says airport officials, on how they protect our President.

"We lost $50k" says Stellar Aviation
Stellar Aviation in the Lantana Airport, located on the west side of Lake Osborne, says it's lost $50k due to President Trump's visit. But the residents living near the airport have lost their quiet enjoyment. I can certainly sympathize with Donald Trump with commercial jets flying over Mar-A-Lago from PBIA.
"Stellar Aviation is the “fixed base operator,” and the landlord of sorts, for several businesses that operate at the airport, which has been listed as the 10th busiest “general aviation” air facility in the nation."
And it sure has had its helicopters buzzing all the houses out this way. Their argument over the years is, you shouldn't have moved close to an airport if you didn't like noise. Well, we don't like al Qaeda training there either and bringing down our Twin Towers. The problem is, there weren't helicopters back then when it first opened. The airport expanded during the 1980's. Most of these houses were built before then. Now there is more traffic and more noise and from what I have been told, residents of ROLO and Lake Osborne Heights' complaints are and have been falling on deaf ears for way too long.
Although we sympathize that Stellar has lost money because of our president visiting his home and flights there are suspended while he is here, we residents are going to get a reprieve on annoying helicopter noise that the managers there seem to ignore.

Jets at Lantana Airport
Comment Up
Living out here on Lake Osborne we hear the noise of helicopters flying overhead as well as planes flying low from the Lantana Airport that is adjacent to John Prince Park. We have had 82 crashes there since 1982. Just last year, a plane crashed into a mobile home park killing the pilot and someone on the ground. The single-engine plane, a Cherokee 180, was flying from Orlando to the Lantana area airport, just down the road from the crash.
One of our neighbors, Bill Coakley, who has a home directly across the lake from the Lantana Airport, has been fighting this for years. Now, to make matters worse, we have jet aircraft returning to the Lantana Airport.
The owner of Galaxy Aviation said that is what we residents should expect if we buy a house by an airport. Most of our houses have been around longer than Galaxy Aviation.
For years, Bill Coakley has been contacting everyone imaginable about this quality of life issue for the residents of Lake Osborne Estates and all of us who live out here. Now, on top of all the noise problems, we have jets again.
"The recent JET activity and the FBO's February email attempting to marginalize the problem with insults and ignorance directed at the public, has compromised the good relations and optimism which accompanied the friendly and respectful interchange with Galaxy staff when they arrived on the field," he said.
Bill further stated that "One JET inevitably means many more to follow. And that in turn means the possibility of mechanic schools testing jet engines on the field... possibly JET training schools on the airport who conduct their training over our communities."
He mentioned, "The seventeen years of daily and routine abusive non compliant training that had led to so much public unrest - he explained the AIP Grant scam and that if JETS were coming to LNA... there would be a storm of public unrest and introduced the topic of legal action that had been brewing."

What we're also extremely concerned about is whether or not the County is pulling a fast one--allowing jets at the airport in conjunction with the recent construction at John Prince Park in anticipation of its desire for the arrival of the Atlanta Braves in 2019.
