Potential Danger:

Following is from drawing 5 of 9.  It is an elevation of the east Runway 11-29 Extension showing how close aircraft will be to vehicles traveling US Highway 1.

Large aircraft will clear the fence by 16 feet and vehicles on US Highway 1 by 26 feet.  That is if the student pilots properly learn their skills.  Otherwise, the term "Max Penetration" may mean "Crash Site."

And large aircraft cause much greater damage in a crash than small aircraft.
