Over at the Don Scott OSU airport we've been having some of the same
noise issues from the neighbors. That airport has been there since 1942
and the city has developed around it. An airport is hard to miss. I
have a difficult time digging up much sympathy for people who buy houses
around the 64-year-old airport and then complain about noisy aircraft.
If one doesn't want to live in a noisy environment, then...don't buy or
rent a house in a noisy environment. Its now so bad that a group has a
website that tracks aircraft in near-real-time armed with a big, creepy
"File Complaint" button. The airport services small business jets, a
few larger piston twins, a few Highway Patrol planes, Life Flight
helicopters, and, of course, the OSU flight school. The biggest thing to
regularly fly out of OSU is usually Cardinal Health's Falcon 50, not
exactly the heavy iron.
