Posting for my neighbor who can't seem to get on Puna Web.
Darn helicopters started fling overhead at 8 am this morning.
I’ve tried to be polite and asked them to choose a new flight path but, most of them seem to think that saving gas, by disturbing the peace and quiet of my little sanctuary, is more important than a person’s sanity. And the FAA says well there’s nothing they can do because they’re allowed to decide to fly over your hose anytime they want.
I chose to build here about ten years ago, because of the distance from any, city/town or highway noises. And we as neighbors of lower HPP have worked hard to make sure we have a safe, crime free and quiet neighborhood to retire in.
I some times wonder how these pilots would feel if I were to park outside of there home and honk my horn from eight in the morning to six thirty at night and see if they don’t complain about, disturbing the peace.
I guess it’s time to start a petition to raise the height over private homes from 500 feet to 1000 feet and one miles distance from a residential neighborhood, with the exceptions, of course, of areas in and around airports and for emergency flights.
Wish someone could help me with this problem, it sure is frustrating.
