Hickory NC Airport Flight Pattern
I'm looking at a house that is about 1 mile north of the airport -- right in
the flight path of the north-south runway. I would like to find out how many planes a day fly in/out of the airport and typically how many of these use the N-S runway. Any help or a referral would be greatly appreciated. |

You don't say which airport (they both have N S runways) so you may want to check the following links: http://www.airnav.com/airport/E40 http://www.airnav.com/airport/KHKY Allen E40 is pretty much a glorified cow pasture. Mostly powered parasails and the like there lately. I live 1 mile from the approach end of the E- W runway (rwy 24) at Hickory Regional and i'd estimate that 90% of the traffic uses the E-W runway. |

But regardless, if you're going to be sensitive about airport noise, can I respectfully suggest that you stay the **** way from the airport? ** LOL!! Good advice, I'll say! Myself, I ain't too worried. Right now I'm now living directly under the approach of Long Beach Airport. Them big old Jet Blues come sailing over about every hour or so. And, oh yeah, I hear them. I only have single-pane windows and even so, they don't bother me a tall. Long as they don't empty their toilets over my house. The US has too many airports that are under pressure to close from people who moved to the neighbourhood knowing that there was airport there already, and we don't need another. You're exactly right, my good man! Kind of the same way that city folks move up into the woods and then complain because they live in the woods. (You gotta love 'em, eh?) |

I used to live in rural splendor (deer at my bird feeder, cross country skiing out the back yard) and commute to the city to work, but unlike many of the commuters I wasn't agitating for better roads, more convenient gas stations, StarBucks. I figured the bad roads were what kept it the way I liked it. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ If you don't pay for criminally bad software through the nose, you will never realize how much you are being ripped off! -- Pim van Riezen |

Also though be aware that just like buying a mutual find, "past performance is no guarantee of future returns." Someday KHKY could expand, so don't count on the 125 ops/day on airnav.com and then if it grows to 250 or 500 or if they get airline service, start complaining. Understand that it's an airport and could expand. However you seem to already have that perspective so hopefully I'm preaching to the choir. Btw, I flew into Long Beach last month, and while it's not the busiest airport it's got the most interesting traffic: airliners, DC-3's, private planes, 'copters, blimps, etc... |

Careful there. Our local strip gets way more complaints about the powered chutes than they do airplanes. It seems they cruise much
lower and their speed dictates that they hang around a lot longer. I think they look like fun, so easy on the flames here, but they remind me a little of jet-skis that way.
