This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Must be lovely to hear your neighbor fire up their Cessna at 7 in the morning for their morning commute.
Enjoy being stuck behind the asshole in a C130 with trucknutz.
Thank you, this gave me a good chuckle.
I've lived under a flight path, ~9km/6miles from the airport - while I understand the difference between a 787 and a Cessna 172, I've got no earthly idea why anyone would choose to have a runway in their front yard.
Because us plane people have a crippling addiction...
Haha - like most addictions, this feels a lot like self-harm.
For the people living there I am sure that's a feature, not a bug.
I lived adjacent to a neighborhood like this. It was much quieter than middle aged neighbors with Harley’s. Little Cessnas and Pipers are not that loud.
I imagine the people living there probably don't need to commute at all anymore, or if they do, it's definitely not at 7 in the morning.
I live basically across the street from an Air Force base so I get turboprops over the house at 1,000 feet starting at about 7:00 5-6 days a week. Doesn't bother me or my wife, we just like planes.
I love planes, but I wouldn't want to live next to a fighter base. Cargo planes are super cool though
It's a training base so we've got both here. I'm just on the prop side. Cargo planes are super fun too, used to fly C-17s over my old house all the time before we moved here.
You won't commute like this lol
