Nice images, Tom.

You do realize that you are a lucky devil living so close to the runway. ;-)

Cheers,

Having spent most of my life making Naval Aviation noises with impunity and
immunity and the last decade or so in the wonderful world of FAA Part
umpty-ump answering noise abatement violation claims, I wish there were more
Tom Callahans voluntarily living close to the runways I frequent. (Until it
closed, the old El Toro MCAS was the worst in CONUS, although I've even been
busted at Pensacola.) Nice work, Tom!

We live in an exclusion zone. The number of occupants per building,
building height, etc are set to reduce the chance of a large number of
people getting hurt or killed in an aviation disaster. As far as noise
goes, everyone signs a binding document that they can't complain about the
noise. After Hurricane Katrina the air base went to 24/7 operations. We
loved it. C-5's, herkies, helos, all sorts of aircraft, military and
civilian flew in support of the humanitarian relief. There were no
complaints, Tom
