Peacefulskies: first quite a few people in US and Europe use light aircraft as a mode of transport, much like a car. I am one of those.

Secondly I live and work in the country. We tolerate tourists even though they leave gates open and let their dogs chase the sheep! We live in the UK a very small and densely populated island so live and let live is essential and i see and hear birds, bees, butterflies and many animals. I also hear the river running through the old mill race in the village.

I enjoy all these sounds despite tractors, combines, light aircraft, big jets, motorcycles, cars and buses.

There are places where you would rarely here an aircraft or traffic but you have to be many miles from any urban area. 10km won't cut it you need to be 50 miles away at least.

So stop being so prissy and enjoy the beauties of planet earth including the achievements of mankind, like flight!
