I'm hoping that this is just sarcastic wishful thinking because it's
about as counterproductive as it gets when dealing with noise
situations like this. As David Bowie said, it's putting out a fire
with gasoline.

Being based at an airport (1V5 - Boulder,CO) that is always in the
crosshairs of the anti-GA loonies, I can say that showing a
conscious effort to mitigate noise helps in a small way to mitigate
the complaints. And yes, 1V5 was here long before the houses but
rational arguments don't hold water with the people making the
complaints.

Before flying into Truckee-Tahoe recently for the first time in
September, I was sure to log into their website and study the arrival
and departure procedures so as to try and not violate their noise
regs. Avoiding overflight of residential areas both in Truckee and
Boulder is a small step to try and avoid the calls to the airport from
the hearing sensitive idiots.

You mean I wasn't supposed to take that sight seeing trip over those
big homes in Boulder on the way home?:-))

I go into BJC and avoid 1V5
