Summary: Don't miss it!! The Santa Monica flight schools announced that they will voluntarily limit their nighttime takeoffs and landings. Some residents sued Charlotte/Douglas International Airport on Thursday, claiming noise from the airport has lowered their home values. In New Smyrna Beach anti-nose activists think the issue is "the constant sorties from flight schools, which (they believe) are encouraged by the state as an economic shot in the arm to local communities." An unavoidable conflict between serving the aviation needs of a region and the quality of life desired by their immediate neighbors. Can they harm the long-term interests of the airport and the public? This and more!
