Thanks Bob, I thought I read over 300' before reporting, the 150' wouldn't give much of an altitude perspective. But I wouln't mind using my street and # if for only one day. 300' would give a better perspective of altitude, but we would need at least a few to report to the tower and tell them why. You'd get their attention and they would have to notify the pilots,and tell them what we're doing and why.
I think 300' would be safe, it's 150' below their legal ceiling.
I'll give my name and location to the Hon tower, and sound him about whats up. I live under a major flightpath. We get C-130s over our heads, and the raising altitude or height complaints get snubbed. It's been contested in court too, that's why I caution against emotion no room for it in aviation or court. I'll start with a nephews birthday party and daddys flying over. Give an exact day and time line, mabe only 2 hours put one up, anykind color you reported.
I'll try to make a 300' run on saturday, will report it tomorrow to them, for a saturday flight. Let you know! (especially the tower's atttude)
