Have you ever lived in the flight path of an airport?

    Pretty much consistently from my teen years until now.  I live less than 10 miles from MSP, as I'm sure in documented in your file.

      Would you be so kind as to give me the exact coordinates of your residence, please (accurate down to ten meters)?
      As you stated, I already have it documented, sure. It’s just to further verify that I’ve properly calibrated my direction-finding devices. I bought them off the black market from a foreign manufacturer, meaning that they’re not truly legal for use in any jurisdiction of the United States, so it means a lot to me if you could just help a brutha out. Thanks.

     I have asked you to ignore her! It’s so hard to get good help these days.  (I’d fire you, but you’re fascinated with me, I just can’t break that bond.)

    Yes, LAX.  My vehicle had black stuff on it every day from the jet fuel I think.  I currently live in a flight path of a small airport, thankfully not many planes fly over my house.

    Yes, Parafield. It only handles light aircraft and small commuter jets, but the control tower used to make it impossible to receive the old ABC analog signal until everything went digital.

      You wouldn’t possibly be involved in any incognito plot of chartering small planes off the record to smuggle Vegemite out of Australia and into San Diego, would you? Your proximity to a viable airstrip makes me a bit suspicious. Grrrrrrrrr.

    I have lived in one for the past 46 years!  Flights are every 30-45 seconds out of LGA starting at 6:00 AM.  It eases off during the day, but then ramps up again in the early evening.  The incoming planes go right over my apartment building and at such low altitudes that if you're sitting outside talking with someone, you have to stop because you can't hear them.  Night flights can go as late as midnight if there's bad weather.  No matter how many times we've complained, nothing changes.  When I move, I will not miss that at all.

    I can relate! Although where I live now is not as bad as where I used live. But they can change the flight paths at any time, so who knows?

    I don't recall it being that bad years ago, but in the past couple of years, it seems to have gotten worse.

    I'll bet you are eagerly looking forward to moving.

    You have no idea because that, coupled with a new upstairs tenant who has a walk like an elephant, and the pre-K playground that is directly opposite my bedroom window, it has become close to unbearable.

    No, but I grew up next to the railroad tracks.   We actually got to where we did not notice them.   But after I moved out, they would wake me up when visiting.
