Let me see if I have this right. Someone is worried about hearing an

afternoon in my neighborhood.

My sympathies, Lou.

My home is near Bradenton/Sarasota airport, under the pattern actually.
We must fly below 1600 feet when departing per Tampa/McDill AFB control.
At night, I am jarred from a sound sleep whenever an airplane flys over.
I am also bothered by a loud Harley Davidson at full throttle at 3:30am
(must be closing time).

I wonder that any pilot is so inconsiderate, to offend their neighbors,
perhaps millions of them, in order to go somewhere in the middle of the
night. But, they (we) are, often enough.

When you reach 55 years old, you can move into a senior park here in
Florida. No ice cream trucks
