Re: Airplane noise can indeed be annoying

Meaning he has disagreed with you (or the sockpuppet using your name)?

Your money isn't worth much.

Likely monopoly money, at that.

I love it. Heh!  Jim's got a long history alright but nearly all of it
involves making provocative remarks. For my money he is a sock and he's
operated by the same sockmaster who operates you.

Yes, you're a sock too.

When I got the better of your sockmaster, he became disgruntled and
started disparaging my messages by creating this posting frenzy.

Same old, same old.

Jim's got a posting history that goes back more than a decade. He's no
troll.

"Franklin", on the other hand...

Mike, Jim's a troll.

Mike, he's a troll.

And so "cruising" is related to making an entire flight without engine
noise (or power) how?

"Cruising" is when you are at the plane's best speed. "Gliding" in
flight without power.

I'll help you with any other terms you might like.

Mike is talking about flying gliders. Not really sure what you're talking
about.

That's called "cruising". Learn it.

Somewhat less interesting but far more fun is when there's none of that
annoying engine noise for the whole flight, start to finish. :)

A far more interesting experience is when you're flying and suddenly
there is none of that annoying engine noise.

I went camping last weekend at the Sunol Regional Wilderness, in Sunol
CA. I took my son (14 mos. old) for a simple car camping/hiking trip
and we had a good time. But I could not get over the amount of
aircraft traffic over the park. It was non-stop!

Now the funny thing is that I'm a pilot, and I've spent countless
boring holes over the San Antonio reservoir (a few miles away).
Morever, I know that the SUNOL intersection is only 10 miles away and
is a fix for A LOT of procedures.

All of this gave me some sympathy for those who are frustrated with
airplane noise. I'm not talking about people who live in the approach
paths for major airports, for whom I have little sympathy, but with
people who unbenknownst to them, live under an important fix, or a
popular practice area.

It was an interesting experience.

PS -- By the way, it was the jet traffic that was most annoying. I
could not tell exactly what was going on, but it sounded like the
airliners descend from the flight levels to SUNOL and then put power
back in to maintain 10k or so. One after the next you could hear
engines spool up.
