SAMP Comments: Can you hear me now?
I’ve eavesdropped on quite a number of Sustained Airport Master Plan EIS scoping comments and I’m struck by how high-minded most of them are. They cover the big-ticket items of noise, pollution, schools, property values, crime, etc. But I want to remind you that you can (and should) also comment on the smaller annoyances that

This area is directly under the flight path at prox. 600 ft of altitude, which now makes it officially the housing estate closest to the
