But this is not the kind of zooming around some Johnson County residents want near their rural neighborhood south of Burleson. The bikes and homes on Woodbine Street would be in the shadow of the towers that will support Texas Fly By Wire. The tiny planes will buzz Lloyd Parker's backyard. It takes my sleep away at night. I wake up at two or three in the morning and think about what this will do to me.
Neighbors worry about crowds, safety, noise and money.
The opposition surprised businessman George Young, who thought the site was far enough away from any homes. He said he wants to be a good neighbor by muffling the engines, controlling crowds and not serving alcohol. I think it's going to be great for Burleson, great for Johnson County, southern Tarrant County, great for Texas. I think it'll be good for everyone involved. The eight towers will start going up next week.
