Hey, Poulsen.

“All that noise” is the sound of freedom.

Better men than you will ever be train and dedicate their lives in defending this country so that you can gripe about it.

Maybe you need to move back to Overland Park Kansas and resume your whining there.

Thank You Flying J for telling the Mayor how it is. I will increase my business with you if you can keep these slugs away from me while at your business. Wal-Mart on the other hand is giving them a place to live for free in their parking lot. The Mayor don’t care… he just gets to count them as trolly riders and needy folks for federal money increases… and dem votes.

I live in the flight path and honestly, it’s just not that bad. You get used to it really fast. I don’t even notice the planes anymore unless they’re taking off really low and slow.

Frankly, I feel the same way about the folks who buy a house near the freeway, and then whine about the noise until the taxpayers are compelled to put up a multimillion-dollar sound barrier wall. What’s with that?!!?

Mr. Poulsen says the “F17s” were flying over his little Heaven’s Half-Acre (directly under the flight path that existed long before his lovely home did). I’m no expert on military aircraft, but I’m thinkin’ he must’ve meant the F15s that were here from Oregon. The F17 was never put into production. And the F117 is the “stealth” aircraft – if only we could get a flock of F117s we wouldn’t even know they were there! (You know, they being so stealthy and all…)

A few years back, there was a new subdivision built out around Eagle Hills golf course. It quickly sold out due to the view of the foothills and the fact that there was a large sweet alfalfa field behind them. Then when the farmer started to spread manure on the field to fertilize it, those same “newbies” screamed bloody murder about the stink! Now, it seems that people who moved into the flight path of the airport, knowing full well the situation, want no more “noise” bothering them. The airport was there first, so if you don’t like the noise, maybe you should have puchased your home in some other part of the city! You chose it! Now live with it!
