This reminds me of a little article I read a while back in a magazine. I think it was The Netherlands or Belguim where the authorities had set up a hotline number for people to complain about low flying aircraft.
A local aviation enthusiast rang up to say that an aeroplane had just flown over his house, it did NOT disturb him and in fact he actually likes looking at aircraft flying by. He wanted his approval of the flight logged. Unfortunately, the operator said that they were not allowed log such calls, only complaints!!
Maybe there should be a campaign of locals and pilot friends/family to start ringing clubs to congratulate and thank them for flying over. Each of these cancels out a complaint.
