It may indeed seem a bizarre post to anyone who was not directly affected by the awful mind numbing racket caused by Skydive St George as their aircraft climbed at high power settings in "our" overhead.Also as Toadpool says sky diving is a totally incompatable activity and was an ill concieved venture carried out over an International Airport. Just imagine this scenairo. "Durham Approach, Bandit 31, Hawk Aircraft 15 miles north east with suspected birdstrike, request immediate vectors to runway 23." Bandit 31, Durham Radar, sorry mate we have six parachute jumpers somewhere in the overhead, can you make it to Leeming" !!
