And for museum owner Jason Rhodes all the talk of how the Queenstown Airport Corporation [QAC] might develop Wanaka Airport is unsettling.
His museum is on a block of land that juts out from State Highway 6 almost to the airport runway.
Not surprisingly, the thought has crossed his mind that one day the airport will want his land.
There had already been "lots of discussion", he said.
"I have a plan B, but the thing is, if they try that sort of caper [taking the land under the Public Works Act], it's going to cost them more than the land.
"Because, can you imagine trying to shift a place like this?"
Depending on your point of view, the museum is either an eccentric jumble or a fabulous treasure trove.
There are sheds full of hundreds of cars and other vehicles, packed around and under some very large aircraft.
And Mr Rhodes and others are planning to bring to the museum even bigger aircraft, all the way up to a 747, which is 76m long and 68m wide.
Mr Rhodes says QAC would not be able to simply pay him the land value.
It would have to relocate the museum.
Mr Rhodes believes QAC would find it difficult to justify taking his land.
"My logic is they would be very hard-pressed to do that with us because they have got all these other chunks of land around us now.
"They would have to deem this land critical to their operation - their operation could not function without this bit of dirt - but because they've got so much [land] now, that would be hard to actually enforce."
