There are not many posts on PPRuNe that get me into a rage but the above is one of them so I apologise from my lack of tolerance when I have stated how tolerant this thread is to different view points.
Now my rant
Only someone who is intellectually challenged and ignorant would write such a comment. So how near is too near that they should not complain?
For a start the locals bought homes next to a 70 acre park and not an airport that wants to mug the residents of their park. Secondly people can live miles from an airport and be impacted by aircraft noise whether by new flight paths or just a massive increase in movements.
Then there is the environmental impact. Have you not heard of climate change and what that could do to the world or is it a case that you really don't care?
Oh I said in my last post that the airport had broken night noise limits for 2 years. It was actually 3.
