Amazing that people buy a house near an existing airfield then complain about noise ad nauseam.

Rather ironically and surprisingly some of the worst noise complainers are from the aviation community itself.

I was looking at buying a business property near a regional airport that is pretty busy with jet traffic recently. The agent told me that the airport noise was an issue and the property would fetch far more if it were situated differently. I nodded sagely and agreed with him - what I didn't tell him was that I loved the smell of kerosene in the morning, the noise will be increased a little by my helilcopter coming in and out and that accessibility to the regional airport is a positive attribute in my opinion.

Console yourself with the knowledge that these miserable complaining so and sos are upsetting themselves far more with this nonsense than they are the rest of us.
