Noise Pollution and Aircraft Camping

[robert l]

I figured Sunday night I could go to bed early.....nope, not happening. Layed on my cot wide awake becasue of what was going on at the Theater in the Woods (and why do thay call it a "theater" anyway?) and the Fly-In Theater that went on and on until 11:30. Really?? I guess I'm just getting old and cranky.

Maybe EAA should think about making a, "Senior" campground area !

Naah. Old guys can’t hear anyway. ;-)

I had trouble getting to sleep my first night in HBC. Lots of foot traffic, noise from various sources, noise on the road nearby, etc. I figured all of it predated my attendance by a long time, so maybe I should adapt rather than get upset about it. A pair of foam earplugs worked just fine.

I wasn't told there would be debauchery. If there's an inspection team forming let me know.

I believe debauchers are on runway 18 whenever possible . . .

Soft green ones are the best. (I'm talking about earplugs, what did you think I meant?) -Frank

I’m in homebuilt camping right now (Tuesday night) and for the life of me I can not understand why this one simple week can not be as totally perfect as the rest of my life.

Camping: where you spend a small fortune to live like a homeless person.

[DaleB]

Well, to be fair, some homeless people spent small fortunes to live that way, too.

I don't understand. I stagger out of the tent at 6am looking for a greybox and coffee, and return sometime before midnight. My problem is falling asleep fully clothed. You guys must not be doing Airventure right. I suggest volunteering with Vintage Flightline and coming a week before the show to help set up.
