Regarding the response of FordPerfect to Coug66 implying that it is someone’s own fault if they are disturbed by noise and other potential impacts of increased Olympia Airport operations: The current airport is not at all the same as the airport that, as FordPerfect pointed out, existed 100 years ago. Airport boundaries and zones have expanded significantly over the years, enabled by multiple forced property buyouts. Airport projects have been designed to accommodate more demanding aircraft, including faster jets. Busy flight paths have been appearing over vast areas that previously experienced little aircraft noise. Aircraft using the Olympia airport – including helicopters and aircraft using leaded fuel - have been flying, often in circles and at low altitudes, over residential neighborhoods and parks many miles away from the airport. That is why the majority commenting on this issue during public meetings have been expressing concerns about plans to accommodate growth in flights.
FordPerfect, regarding the information-sharing offer you extended to Coug66, I’d be glad to share information with you about the many significant adverse impacts of aircraft operations (noise, air pollution, etc.) on public health – as well as impacts of unfettered growth of aviation on climate change – here or over coffee somewhere.
