Westchester County Airport was just a few miles up the road from us, and it seemed like some local homeowners and their political allies were always complaining about the noise from the airport. I never understood why the airport -- which was opened during World War II as part of the air defenses for metropolitan New York -- was so frequently maligned by people living in houses that were built two or three decades later. Personally, I think the airport has tried to be a good neighbor; and yes, I may be a bit biased because I piloted Cessna 152s for a time (out of small airfields in Dutchess County, N.Y., not Westchester). But isn't part of the househunting drill to check out the neighborhood before relocating? And if noise from an airport is a concern, why move in next to one?<BR/>Rev.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
