Sounds like (thanks to a recent Federal supreme court decision) that
landowners here in Canada have it very good: All one needs to to do is land
a plane on your field, and voila! you have an instant unregistered
aerodrome which is regulated under Federal law - and the local municipality
can't do a darn thing about it (assuming your field approaches does not
violate minimums over populated areas). The only recourse they have is to
tax it as a commercial enterprise if they can justify the classification.
Now..... I just need to win the lottery so I can afford to purchase my
100acres ;-)
