    Must be lovely to hear your neighbor fire up their Cessna at 7 in the morning for their morning commute.

    Little known fact. Airplanes still use leaded fuel. I’ll bet that the blood levels for all of these families are elevated. Not a great place to raise a kid.

    Clarification: Only piston aircraft require leaded fuel. Which is unfortunately a pretty big part of the general aviation market, but similarly sized turboprops do also exist (though are more expensive) and it doesn't apply to modern commercial aviation at all.

    This is like looking at a yet to be made Tom Scott video.

    Many pilots do this as a means of reducing the costs associated with operating out of areas with high hangar and service costs. This is Northwest of Chicago near Rockford. The about page explains a lot of the obvious questions.

    Depends, looks like small planes, and even if 10 come and go everyday you would quickly stop hearing them at all (the brain is very good at ignoring useless stimuli)

    Eh, if you're living in a air park like that one, chances are you're a planespotter or an aircraft owner/pilot yourself, I'll wager the sound is music to those guys ears. I certainly doubt anyone will complane, I mean they should know exactly what they signed up for.

    And they can't even afford an HOA to water the grass by the runway.

    I have a friend who lives in one of these neighborhoods but right in the middle of a city. Blows my mind that it was there the whole time and I just never noticed until I went to his house.
