I understand it. I be a pilot. For 40 plus years.
Local airport is near me. About two miles away.
Piston pilots take off and cruise climb at full power. 2700 RPM. For what seems forever. No such thing as reducing to climb power, at maximum rate of climb, over unpopulated areas.
Piston pilots descend to pattern altitude five miles out and power in with propeller at low pitch. Over populated areas.
In my youth, airplane noise did not bother me. It wrecked my hearing. That and age. Noise now bothers me. Piston pilots don't seem to give a damn about their neighbors. The professionals in gas turbines climb rapidly into the air.
Years ago I was in favor of the local airport. For later years I was then ambivalent. Now, if the county had a vote to do away with the local airport, I would support that action.
We have met the enemy and he are us.
