Default Small plane noise is destroying my life

Was that you waving the other day?

I live in Newark (south-east side of San Francisco Bay), and small
plane noise is driving me crazy. All day long, especially on the
weekends, small private planes are buzzing above Newark.

Newark used to be a quiet town, but within the last year, the airspace
above it has became the training ground for flight schools and private
pilots.

These recreational flyers can only practice their hobby if they have
someone else's land to fly over. They leave Palo Alto and/or San
Carlos airport and head east. They wouldn't think of causing noise
pollution over their ritzy pennsula area.

They are not simply navigating from point A to point B. They have
navigated to our back yards and are now loitering above us that serves
no purpose other than to please the pilots and to enrich those who
rented or sold them the airplane.

When one aircraft departs the area, within minutes another takes its
place. It is not uncommon for this activity to take place from sunup
to sundown. This constant flying in one place creates unreasonable,
unbearable and unhealthy noise to those on the ground, and constitutes
an unwanted and ungranted easement over private property to the pilots
and to their related business interests.

I can not enjoy my life anymore. I can't go outside during the day
without hearing this buzzing, droneing noise from the planes. Inside
it isn't much better, as the plane noise overrides my TV or stereo.

These aircraft perform no useful function and can make no
claim to even the remotest socially redeeming value that might justify
destruction of peoples lives.

My life has been destroyed.
