For the second time in eight months, there has been a breakin and theft at the airport in Greenfield. Over the weekend, someone pried-open a locked door on a hanger, smashed out a window on a Cesna 172 aircraft, stole earphones, a GPS unit and welding gear and also damaged an ultra-light aircraft. Bluenose Flying Club member and hanger co-owner Barry Mercer says he’s feeling frustrated by it all and he’s going to take action.
The most expensive piece of gear taken was a GPS unit. Mercer says no one else can use it except pilots.
Mercer say the estimated cost of the lost gear and damage is close to 4-thousand dollars. The RCMP is investigating.
