Lewis over to the training site in Yakima. You haven't lived till a low flying "Shithook" has woppa-woppa'ed right overhead and shaken the entire house. I've been in earthquakes that shook less!!!JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-33794974663077628412008-11-17T18:08:00.000+00:002008-11-17T18:08:00.000+00:00what a coincidence to read this post today.

I've just got in from work and there was a police helicopter hovering over the office all afternoon - it did my head in - had to reach for the panadol - so Val, what can be done?annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520900940014508061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-6519449980862829582008-11-17T16:25:00.000+00:002008-11-17T16:25:00.000+00:00Thankfully the only airport near us is so small it...Thankfully the only airport near us is so small it's only for light aircraft so noise isn't really a problem.But,it's also the home of the police helicopter/air ambulance so THAT noise can be annoying.As you say,not so bad when they're responding to a call,but a pain in the rear when it feels like they're sightseeingElizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959658025489249091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-84152422033502377932008-11-17T04:56:00.000+00:002008-11-17T04:56:00.000+00:00I live in Chicago, near the lake, so I never "hear...I live in Chicago, near the lake, so I never "hear" the planes. Instead, I hear screaming fights in the street, cop sirens, fire sirens, ambulance sirens, and the occasional gun shot. Or maybe it's just a firecracker, or an M-80. Ahhhhhh, life in the city!

The older model planes (727, DC9, MD80) are really loud. If you're talking or on the phone you just have to wait until they pass over.
