Unfortunately it's not in my dictionary, although 'kahuna' is: a Hawaiian witch doctor. I assume he meant "cojones". Why anyone is bothering to read, never mind reply to, that troll (or any other, including the recent "I don't like airplane noise" guy) still is beyond me, whether he can spell or not. Pete |

Oh, it's not about spelling (I would be the last to carp about spelling); it's about literacy. I just couldn't resist pointing out 'lune's lack of literacy, so that those who take the imaginary creation's rhetoric seriously could no longer ignore its refulgent sciolism. |

It's been awhile, but I had to look that up: refulgent, adj. shining brightly; radiant; gleaming sciolism , n. superficial knowledge. Thanks. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |

You d**k less Fing A.. ( yes I know this is the reaction he was trolling for
![]() Please tell me who I cry and whine to about the train that goes near my house and blows the horn at least 5 times throughout the night ? Also who do I cry to about the cell antennas installed on the water tower near my house ? Oh yes I almost forgot is anybody crying about the muscle boats that are completely unmuffled ( supercharged big blocks are a little noisier than the high pitched whine of the 172). Please stop the jealousy ! And go back to surfing the porn sites and leave us alone.. Boy I feel better.. "Skylune" wrote in message lkaboutaviation.com... Don't waste your time here. Most of the people here think you should be absolutely thrilled to hear the high pitched whine of a C-172 straining for altitude, followed by another, and another, etc... all day long, starting at 5:00 am. If you're not, they think you must be a loser washout from flight school, because everyone thats anyone has a PPL or is working on one. They will blame YOU for moving close to an airport (even if you are not close to an airport, or the airport's operations have increased five-fold over the past ten years, or the airport is planning a "safety" improvement which involves parallel runways or runway lengthening). While there are noise restrictions on commercial aircraft (google Stage III), cars, motorcycles, music, lawnmowers, etc., imposing (or enforcing) any type of noise restricitons on these 40-year old planes is considered un-American and impinges on freedom. If you don't like the noise: f-you and move. GA is the only activity I know of that is exempt from all forms of noise regulation (except some Calif. airports where the localities had the kahoonas to make the restrictions mandatory, or to "charge for the externality" in the form of landing fees, night surcharges, etc. ] But there is very good news. The bright side of permanently higher energy prices means less discretionary flying. Upcoming user fees mean less discretionary flying. The private pilot population is declining (thus the desperate advertising by flight schools for new students), and demographically they are old. Population growth means that more people will be rightfully annoyed by excessive noise. Airports that try to work with the surrounding community stand a better chance of survival than those that seek to expand operations and then argue, "We were here first." |

Hell yes they lower housing prices, that's how I bought my place. Found a
house I liked, hopped in the 182 and circled that bitch every day for six months. Price dropped at least 60%. |

Gavone. (look that word up). Get used to it: your planes make noise,
some make alot of noise, and many people hate unnecessary noise. |

The hottest part of the Boston RE market over the past two years has been the lower part of South Boston, which is directly underneath the departure path of Logan 3-5 days out of the week. When I lived there I once had a BA 747 climbing out real slow shake the walls so bad a painting fell off. If you were on the phone (indoors) you had to stop when one of the heavies (or an old turbojet 737) passed over. During pushes they'd come every 90 seconds for an hour or more. In the past 10 years a 1-family has roughly tripled in value to over 800k. Condos average 380-600 and go up to 1.5mil. Airplane noise my ass. I live next to Logan now and get less noise than I did in Southie. -cwk. |
