If you were a passenger on one of the diverted planes and you had a choice between Boston and Green for your next flight, which would you pick? RIAC's noise tracking system was down for months last year and now the ILS on the runway facing Airport Road went down for an extended period when the Category III ILS on the runway facing Main Avenue was also down because it "was being moved." Why did they move that ILS in May -- the foggy season when the water is colder than the air?

Look at the snow fence on Industrial Drive. It does not work because it is too close to the road. When I questioned this the answer I got was "don't worry about that. RIAC will plow the road if it needs to." The problem here is that snow fences serve two purposes -- to deal with visibility problems for drivers during strong winds and to cause the drifts to form on the side of the road, not in the middle of it. We don't all put snow tires on our cars that can deal with the resulting snow dumped right in the middle of the road 15 minutes after the plow goes by.

Leaving the snow fences next to the road rather than placing them where they used to be -- further back by the Indian Cemetery -- demonstrates the fact that RIAC simply does not get the most basic part of dealing with weather problems -- like the fogs of May and June.
