I thought about that too. I will watch the planes this weekend, to see
where they are coming from.


You do realize, of course, that the planes are doing nothing illegal,
and that active private aviation is a sign of a healthy society and is
also a part of modern life -- especially in urban areas.


Why do people find noise from suburban airports so annoying. Try listening
to highway noise. My home is several miles from I-495 and I can hear it
sometimes. The gym I use is a few hundred yards from the highway and the
noise is deafening.
