Lol, yeah. I live in the direct flight path of a small airport. I dont even notice small planes anymore. Now the private jets at 2am sometimes wake me up...

I lived in the landing path of a local AF base for years (dad was in the AF). It was fun listening to B-52's and C-5's 150 feet over the house at all hours (SAC base). We'd pray for a KC-135R instead because they were quieter

You know what, I changed my opinion. This pilot is an asshat.

We should find him and cut off his fucking head and rape him in the anal cavity with a stick wrapped with barbed wire. Then let's go steal all his can goods from his kitchen cabinet. YARRRRR!

You're kidding, right? We have a new neighbor at the track. She calls the police to complain about the noise at the track. That's right, her house is about 1,000 feet from our property line and about two miles from an airport.

We measure our dB levels on a regular basis, as required. We have not violated our covenants. Our records are solid. Though, our answer when called up by the City Council was to start our statement with "All of our readings were difficult to capture due to the airplanes flying over-head." Eyebrows raised was brilliant.

Entitlement is not exclusive to the current generation.

That's kind of the point. They're right across the street from the end of a runway, that's been there for something like 40 years.

Never suprises me. As I stated before I live about 100ft from train tracks and a subway style train (though above ground at that point). Not to mention in not the main but often used flight path of an airport about 2-3 miles from me (maybe less). Oh yeah, an interstate not too far away. Noise doesn't bother me a bit and I came from the country.

Anyways, people will buy these homes next to this airport that was actually a military training camp during WW1 and a naval air base in the WW2. But they buy homes because they are cheap and once in there the world is suppose to revolve around them and for it to go away.

We are batteling this shit again too in a town called Lawrenceville, GA which is about 30 miles NE of Atlanta. They are wanting to privatize and expand a regional airport to take on medium range commercial planes (for flying to Chicago and even LA). But people are going apeshit because their shitty homes will become shittier as Westins, Hiltons, and other businesses want to buy their shitty homes/Land for a crap ton of money.

uh, on a rant. I just have to go to the Atlanta airport soon and I'm already dreading it and am pissed about it.
