aiglon, I'm sorry but I don't understand your title calling me a hypocrite.
Let's not get into noise from motorcycles, strimmers, lawnmowers, motorways etc.. The purpose of the discussion is to address our problem, in that others perceive aircraft as noisey and obtrusive, flown by the rich.
Enough airfields are being closed or traffic movements restricted. As an airfield closes the aircraft based there move, another airfield now has more aircraft and a bigger noise problem, the anti's then rear their heads at this airfield, and on we go losing airfields restricting our pleasure.
Back to the point, how do we continue to fly and keep the NIMBY's at bay?
ps. Aiglon, I am a motorcyclist also, no noisey exhausts on my machine!
