Constant Plane Noise This Morning

[amy-s1.livejournal.com]

Let me say this first before you call me a whiner - watch the planes on this map for this morning of Friday 12/11: http://www4.passur.com/bos.html

You can replay any point in time with the menu bar at the top, you can even speed it up to 10X. Or you can watch "live" with a 10 minute delay.

Now, if those green planes dont go right over where you live, dont call the rest of us whiners. If they do go right over you, you know what I am talking about. My 5 month old daughter is constantly woken up by these planes and they can rattle the house.

Watch the flow of the planes coming off of runway 33L (the long one that points straight at Chelsea). The vast majority of them bank left and come straight over Davis Square almost every time. How about a little distribution over Harvard Sq, West Cambridge, etc?? Not to mention winds this morning are from the W/SW, not the Northwest.

Now, lets log complaints here: http://www.massport.com/logan/airpo_noise_compl.html

that's Washington National not International. I don't think any flights go from there to non-US destinations. Yes, I know it got a new name a decade or so ago, but I refuse to use it.

Ack, it is national, I don't know what I was thinking.

And, yes, the name the Republicans inflicted on that airport is not its proper name. Hopefully in my lifetime it'll be changed to something more appropriate.

Yep. With only a couple of exceptions, planes can't fly any further than 1500 miles to/from WNA. (I too refuse to acknowledge Mr. I-Don't-Recall.) It's weird to look out the window and feel like you're about to crash into The Pentagon.

Anyway, I lived down around that area for five years and never heard anybody complain about noise. It may very well have happened but it never made the news or anything like that.
