As I've mentioned before, I have an instructor/friend lives within the
"box," and he finds the noise really bad.

I'm not aware of anyone saying that there's no room for improvement in the
noise situation. But, my understanding is that to some extent, the noise
problem exists because the pilots needing to practice have not been granted
enough variety of locations to practice. Furthermore, the STN idiots aren't
just calling for some reasonable compromise; they are looking to eliminate
general aviation altogether.

As a long-time pilot and a
bit of a libertarian he wouldn't dream of joining Stop, but I suspect
his sympathies are with them, at least during the summer months.

My sympathies are with anyone who is bothered by the noise, and who is
interested in pursuing reasonable solutions that provide for an outcome that
benefits everyone involved. I don't care how much noise occurs above me, my
sympathies would NEVER be with the STN idiots. I can't see why your
friend's would be either. They are not a sympathetic group of people.
