East Midlands Airport (EMA) has received almost 8,000 complaints in the past year - most from just five people worried about noise, the airport said.
Retired air traffic controller, David Coulson, said he was methodical about registering his complaints.
"Every time I'm disturbed, I note the time down, that's it. It works out at about 150 to 200 times a month."
Guess where he used to work and as the SATCO no less.......
