[Scan-DC] flight paths

[andrew]

I don't know why people complain about airport and aircraft noise.

National Airport has been open since 1941 and Washington Dulles in 1962. I
you have moved to or around the surrounding area of these two major airports
since then you should expect to hear aircraft. I find it funny that people
complain about aircraft noise.

I moved within sight of Washington Dulles. I hear aircraft all times of the
day. Do I have I right to complain? I don't think I do, because I chose to
move near a major airport.

If you don't like the noise from aircraft, then move farther away from an
major airport.
