When I was in Victoria (Oz) many years ago, based at Pt Cook (Then an RAAF initial flying training school) A flying weekend was planned and carried out to " Catch up on lost Flying time due to weather",. On the following Monday the local real estate people were complaining to the base Commander about the noise, cos it drove away all the potential customers who didnt like the Idea of living next to an airport.

Apparently they didnt bother to tell the customers about the airfield when selling on the weekends.

Similar thing happened at Pearce in WA.
