Do you hear it in Westport, new Canaan , Wilton or pound ridge? I saw online that several towns are sueing the FAA.

Don't know about Westport or Pound Ridge, but I've flown over New Canaan and Wilton on commercial flights landing at the Westchester Airport. So yes, I think they can hear it since the airplane flies rather low at that point.

No planes take off over Wilton/New Canaan from the NY airports including Westerchester or Bradley. There are routes that drop altitude prior to landing, but that is much less of a disturbance. Take off is exponential louder than cruising at 35k or landing approach. There were lawsuits threatened but the routes never materialized as Westchester is strongly resistant to further airport growth.

There is already a thread on this so I am merging the two threads together. JayCT, Moderator

The threads are about different parts of CT?

In march there was a meeting to vote on the problem in congress.

thanks for all the info and , when I saw all those planes and counted them, it was I think weekend evenings when they were flying one right after the other..Next time that happens I will check time and date

Now I'm really confused. You can't hear the planes at that altitude, especially from inside your home, if you were bed ridden, how did you see them? x-ray vision? Was your bed in the back yard? Do you have your own radar tower? I'm not trying to give you a hard time, it just isn't making sense to me.

They come in right over the trees- you hear them coming but because of the terrain can't see them, then all of a sudden there's the group of them over your head.

Could be either. I get air traffic from the military out of Bradley all the time. Keep in mind, the state is pretty small to air traffic so they could be out of many places.

The original thread was about airplane noise in Connecticut not just one particular area. It is against the rules to have multiple threads going discussing the same topic. JayCT, Moderator

All I can say is at night ,I can see them one green light on one wing,one red light on the other, and yes I can hear them once they get over the house. they are pretty far up ,but I see the red and green lights, during the day if I am outside and there are ones flying into Bradley they are flying low enough so that I can tell what airline it is, I live about 1/4 mile off the river and they follow that up, it is farmland across the street so it is open land..
