I know, and that makes it have at least the appearance of being subjective

conservative altitudes and having AOPA legal insurance seems the best
investment for most of us.

Let me see if I have this right. Someone is worried about hearing an
aircraft 1000's of feet above them for 10 seconds, but it's okay for
the icecream man to play the music from the sting for 2 hours every
afternoon in my neighborhood.

My sympathies, Lou.

My home is near Bradenton/Sarasota airport, under the pattern actually.
We must fly below 1600 feet when departing per Tampa/McDill AFB control.
At night, I am jarred from a sound sleep whenever an airplane flys over.
I am also bothered by a loud Harley Davidson at full throttle at 3:30am
(must be closing time).

I wonder that any pilot is so inconsiderate, to offend their neighbors,
perhaps millions of them, in order to go somewhere in the middle of the
night. But, they (we) are, often enough.

When you reach 55 years old, you can move into a senior park here in
Florida. No ice cream trucks

Actually, the ice cream trucks are the communications tool for
terrorist cells. The combination of songs they play have hidden
messages. Why else would they be trolling the neighborhoods in
December? (Remember "John has a long mustache" from The Longest Day?)

Seriously, I'm getting more and more ****ed by people who move in next
to an airport, then complain about the noise. Same thing with the
range I shoot at.
