As a guy who've lived next door to CPH for +30 years, and for the last couple of years between runways 07L25R/07R25L in BRU let me just make a single comment: You'll get used to it! As a matter of fact, I'm having problems sleeping if there is no aircraft playing lullabys. And BRU got far more night traffic than LHR, courtesy of DHL.

I knew damn well that establishing myself in Zaventem would mean aircraft noise. Anyone stupid enough to locate near an airport and then complain about the noise is just that, stupid. Are we now at the point in human history where stupidity is being rewarded?

Sorry, but if you can't stand the smell in the kitchen - leave. Airports and aircraft were around before most, if not all, of these people were even born. Aviation brings jobs, possibilitis and prosperity. It also "pollutes" by making a bit of noise. I say, let's ban everything oil, gas or coal burning. In fact, why don't we just nuke ourselves and go back to the stoneage?

Question: Why is Blighty the whinge capitol of the world?
