Bay Minette, AL. navy flight training (Birmingham, Bay Minette: military, houses, land)

[jbonn]

I would like anyone fed up with the noise from the navy flight training activities in the Bay Minette/ White House Fork area to respond to this message. Thinking of starting a petition.

I like the noise. It sounds like FREEDOM.

I responded in the other thread, but now I don't see it. Anyways, I live in Atmore and I never hear anything. I go to Wal-Mart in Bay Minette regularly and I don't think I have heard them there either. Is it all over Bay Minette, or just in certain areas?

Jet noise - the sound of freedom!

Be thankfull the --noise-- is coming from planes of the United States Navy and not planes of another country.

I'm not sure what the deal is as I live nowhere near there, but if the noise is due to low flying jets then you can complain to the FAA about the navy's operations there. This is especially true if they are low flying over a residential area. Low flying for military aircraft is defined as being able to read the tail markings from the ground. A picture would be required.

It strikes me odd that they would do training over houses. The military usually does training over empty land for obvious reasons.
