And they're doing the same complaining near Patuxent River Naval Air Station.

To which, I say,

How old is your house?
How long has the base been there?
What did your realtor tell you?
Did you visit your intended purchase at times other than when it was shown to you?


Jet engines. The sound of freedom.

That sounds like my usual response to them too. NAS Oceana has been in existence since the late '40s. Anyone who bought houses around here after that knew what they were getting into, IMHO.

No joke, it reminds me of the idiots that buy houses a quarter mile off the runway of Hill Air Force Base and then constantly bitch about the noise from the F-16s. They're always whining at city council meetings and writing letters-to-the-editor because the jets do a lot of night ops over the Utah Test Range.

These people are just unbelievable. Hill AFB has been around since the 1920's. These geniuses buy their houses 70+ years later within plain sight of the runway directly under the takeoff path and insist that the Air Force change their entire operational schedule to meet their wants. These people don't need the city council and the base commander to talk nice and kiss up to them, these people need some good old-fashioned thump therapy.
