The very small number of neighbors will not recognize the reduction and will argue that the airports have to be shut down anyway. Let’s work on information and relations between airport and all the neighbors. 5-10% will continue to yell… Work on the 90%!

At my home airport, a neighbor identified the vibration from jet engines (small citation size) as more disruptive than the noise of the twin and tri-islanders that were used in frequent, daliy commuter service. (His house is within 1 mile of the departure end of prevailing wind runway)
