thunderfoot, thanks for letting me (us) know about the meeting. I will support it and try to come.
I believe people should be able to enjoy their homes without excessive noise and vibration. I read a study last year that people subjected to regular noise pollution are far more prone to heart attacks and strokes -- noise affects the autonomic nervous system and disrupts it.
Honestly I could care less about people's selfish desires to see lava from the air, but I'm sure it can still be done without flying low over private property.
In Hilo, too, they are out of control flying over the Wailuku River ... and then there is Waipi'o Valley where people live off the grid ... but the helicopters come to view the falls ... it makes me sick really that it's allowed.
It also makes me sad that some people who aren't tortured by overflights have no empathy for those who are.
