Easton, 7/1/09

This overcast gray day was a nightmare… with nonstop flights I could hear even through my 29 db NRR protective ear muffs! Nobody from the FAA is going to tell me nothing has changed over Connecticut in the last two years after a nightmare like this. Last summer I didn’t have any ear muffs because there was no need for them.

6/25/09
On June 25, 2009, I began seeing and hearing for the first time heavy commercial jet traffic coming in off the Sound -- over the beaches I have walked and watched sunsets from winter, spring, summer and fall for 40 years -- and heading inland over Fairfield to the north and northeast. On this date I logged these planes as I was walking from west to east so it is most likely planes kept going over the golf course, Sasco Beach etc. as I continued logging the planes overhead or in front of me.

noise log, Easton, CT, 5/22/2009

This was received by us last month. It was compiled by an Easton, CT, resident known to us for a long time.

More general info about the FAA's 2-year old Noise Nuisance is on

the http://thegoosingofgreenwich.blogspot.com/


May 22, 2009, near the Merritt Parkway in Easton:

In the few minutes I was home two jets roared low over my house at 6PM and 6:01 PM.

They came over the north shore of the Lake, over the center of the Lake and over the parking lot to the south of the Lake, as logged below

All times in military hours:
18:22
18:26
18:29
18:34
18:38
18:39
18:44
18:45
18:46
18:56
19:00
19:03
19:05
19:08
19:10
19:12
19:14
19:17 (This one paralleled the next one slightly ahead and bearing ESE)
19:18 (Slightly behind, this one bore ENE)
19:23

19:35: two planes parallel, one bearing ENE, the other, a 747, well under 1000’ and climbing steeply.

I drove back home and from the time I got out of the car… entered home… turned on some music 16 minutes later 10 planes had gone over, much lower than at the Lake, and would keep going over at the same rate for the rest of the night as they do every night now:

20:00
20:01 (A smaller jet heading form NW to SE, into Sikorsky Airport 50’ to 100’ above
20:03
20:05
20:07
20:09
20:10
20:11
20:14 (747 at maybe 500’ and climbing steeply)
20:16

5/23/09

4 planes went over between 18:00 to 18:11.

I noticed something I hadn’t before when I came out at approximately 19:35. I saw, much higher up and farther north, the trail of a jet heading East to West. Then as I driving home up Route 59, I saw another jet about ½ mile north, very high up at the same altitude, also traveling East to West.

If you consider I logged 22 planes in an hour at the Lake and 10 planes in 15 minutes at home at a rate that would be 40 planes per hour and you add them together you get 60 planes an hour being pumped out of NYC in a corridor ranging form maybe 1 mile south of the Parkway to 1.5 miles north of the Parkway – all heading from west to east and climbing gradually. If this same rate goes form 4PM or 5 PM when I’ve heard them in both places to 11 PM to Midnight when I’ve heard them at home, that would be 8 hours x 60 planes per hour = 480 planes a night heading for points east of Fairfield/Easton, CT.

Where would they all be going? Unless they are all being blown through this new pipeline to climb up to higher elevations and gradually pointed in whatever directions their destinations lie, including turning around and heading back west at a higher altitude.

And of all the quiet places I could’ve chosen to settle down and pay a mortgage on for all these years … this location has been turned into a Kafkaesque nightmare of noise and air pollution. Even now … working on this log with no music on to mask the sound, I hear non-stop jet traffic above… Until the FAA stops abusing, no, destroying the quality of my simple rural lifestyle you will be hearing more from me.

where Rudy Marconi, the First Selectman (similar to mayor) of Ridgefield, CT,
is quoted saying (about the FAA's barbaric airspace re-design):


"That's no reason for us to sit back and say that's fine, relocate 150 to 300 flights a day right down the throat of Fairfield County. We're not gonna be that easy and we're not gonna accept that."

Well said!
