There's a small airport that would accomodate such craft, but generally the fliers want more landing space...and lately I've had the nuisance of a helicopter who likes to fly low and won't leave. When I got out my binocs, he skedaddled.

These jets can fly tens of thousands of feet high. What are they doing diving 300 ft above my house in a rural area? I can't get their flight numbers fast enough to turn them in to the FAA, but I haven't given up.

No, I don't find then charming, and they shriek and scream. Now I get to wonder if some kid is at the controls because the owner won't lock up his toy. As per my own dreams, I'd rather fly like the heron than a guided missle, but that'll never be an option.

couldn't have been this plane. The one that's buzzing me is a little smaller, I think, with wings folded slightly back at a more acute angle to the fusillade. Also, it has no peaky-up things at the tips of the wings. (No, I don't know what they're called.)

There are a number of little cheapy jets being mfged now--they think they'll be like taxis before too much longer.
