What is wrong with you nimrods? You are 20 miles away from TWO busy airports. That puts air traffic at ~ 5000 feet which is an audible altitude. Planes do not drop from cruising altitude to the ground in 20 miles. At 20 miles out, you are - get this - CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT(S).

There's no need to be rude first of all.
Second, it's not 5000 ft, which would be normal.
It's 1800 ft.

It's 1800 ft.
It's not being rude first of all. It's a fact.
Second, how do you know it's 1800 feet? Did you measure? There's good reason for it anyway, holding patterns, heavy traffic in the area, etc...but where did you get the 1800 feet from? I'm curious.

What you, and a lot of other posters like yourself, fail to see, is that these flight paths have changed. Unilaterally. Without any environmental effect procedures from occurring. That means that one day, the FAA decided it was going to condense all of arriving and departing flights from airports into very condensed highways in the sky. They didn't speak with the communities about the possible effects. It was done to alleviate air travel delays and to allow the airlines to make as much money as possible. What it has actually done is made life under these new highways in the sky unbearable. People who are under these sky lanes have to endure planes overhead minute after minute every day of our lives. Prior to the FAA doing this in 2012, we didn't have this.
So you see, it isn't that we need to suck it up because we live "near" an airport. We live in the same place we have always lived. It is just that now we have a highway over our heads. This is a human rights issue. An issue that you should be supporting, because the highway in the sky can be moved over your home tomorrow if the FAA thinks it is in the airlines' best interests.
