Unfortunately this is the way of the world. Some of the ones I have seen/heard of/ been involved in
Every Stag in a backyard becomes a thoroughbred capable of winning the Melbourne cup
Emus conduct mass suicide just before the end of the financial year if a military jet takes of in the next state
My personal favourite, incredible expensive riding gear shrinking on the clothes line because of Avtur from the exhaust of a military jet doing a low overshoot.
Most of the problem is caused by these things going ministerial, then up the chain and down the chain and then around and around. Instead of the politicians who get these obviously false claims telling these people who probably don't vote for them anyway to rack off.
A lot of effort is expended in attempting to avoid areas with legitimate request (even people who have moved next to airports 30 years after the airport was there) but there is always the low life out there looking to make money anyway except by working for it themselves.
