Airport and Local Community harmony

Thanks "satmstr". Since we started our operations way back when (mid 80's), we have been very mindful of the local Community, as (for those viewing this that aren't aware) the Town is built right next to the Airport on the side of a hill, with the Airport at the bottom of the valley.
You can land at the Oaks and walk into town within a few minutes.
We have been mainly operating low noise, high technology aircraft (for their day) that have a low noise signature (esp. on climbout) since we started, and do what we can to avoid flying over the Town.

Our relations with the local community are good. Am planning to improve that to "excellent" shortly....
