The old farts at the boys 'play airport' do this all the time where I live. Kind of juvenile, but they do it anyway. Since the 9/11 event they seem to enjoy flying closer than allowed just to scare people.

I went to the local airport and complained that the planes were flying too low over our house. The result, they laughed at me. Told me to call the FAA. Called, it is a joke.

So I fixed their wagon good. Found out I lived near a bird santuary. No one knew. So I called the local citizens group, told them the pilots are buzzing the birds. Called the state wildlife guys as well. Went back to the airport head idiot gave him the rags for bird santuary areas. He turned red as a beet. The regs are now on the airport playpen wall.

Guess what, now their runway expansion is in jeopardy, the bird wackos are all over their a$$. Runway expansion is delayed, looks like years from what I can tell.

Find a bird sanrauary or wildlife area, live next to it. Enviro wackos will keep the planes away. AT last I found a use for the wackos. Now they come out every few days and check the santuary, count the birds.

The planes need to stay further away from the birds than they did people ... go figure. But the planes buzzing the house are gone.

Funny! Here in the Santa Clarita, CA area, there's a guy who's made local news; the fire department has told him to clear brush from his property, but the Game Wardens won't let him....something to do with his property being a POTENTIAL habitat for an unusual frog. The picture in the paper yesterday showed him by a sign he'd put up: "Frog Legs $4.99 a pound"
