In America, we are free to live wherever we wish, whether it is near an airport or far away from one. I, for one, like living near Craig Municipal Airport. The sound of an aircraft flying over my house is music to me. Or, to paraphrase another Jacksonville idiom, it is the sound of money. The solution to airport noise is not to move the airport.
Pilots are continually incredulous at the attitudes of people who live near airports.
One would think that Craig airport just appeared there last year amidst all those housing developments. Actually, the airport has been there for over half a century. Don't blame the airport if your Realtor failed to mention there was an airport near the house of your dreams. The other point I can't fathom is that people seem to accept the annoying drone of lawn mowers for an hour at a time early in the morning, and the incessantly excruciating whine of leaf blowers, but if an airplane spends 30 seconds passing over their houses they have to complain. Moving Craig airport to Cecil is a non-solution.
