Flight Tracking Map of Seattle Area Aircraft and Blue Angels Flight Path Change
A real-time flight tracking map centered on the Seattle, Washington metropolitan area showing multiple aircraft in flight, including Alaska Airlines flights AS1304, AS934, and AS347; Delta Air Lines flights DL434, DL1517; Korean Air flight KE41; and several general aviation aircraft (N704ZP, N6040P, N1115U, N718TE, N303LK, N93124, N97662, N94061). A popup identifies a vessel named 'RELIANCE' routing USSEA to USPWT, dimensions 76x26 ft, observed approximately one minute prior to the screenshot. -
2023-07-30Aircraft noise environment and land use issues near Sea-Tac Airport
This document outlines several key challenges related to aircraft noise near Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport. It notes that existing noise measurement systems lack the precision needed by planners, residents, and courts, while federal FAA funds cannot be used to purchase noise-affected lands unless they serve specific airport purposes. Additional concerns include restricted HUD/VA mortgage financing in high-noise areas, the potential negative impact on local tax bases if the Port of Seattle acquires large amounts of noise-sensitive land, and widespread property owner anxiety over declining home values and marketability. -

Sea-Tac Airport Comparison of Air Carrier Operations Forecasts vs. Actuals, 1975–2010
A scatter plot comparing multiple historical and projected annual air carrier operations forecasts for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, spanning approximately 1975–2010. The chart overlays actual operations data against projections from sources including 1997 FAA and ACC (Hockaday) projections, the 1992 Flight Plan Project Final EIS, the 1996 Master Plan Update FEIS, the 1987 PSCOG Draft EIS, and several earlier studies dating back to a 1976 Sea-Tac Communities Plan, illustrating how successive forecasts consistently overestimated growth relative to actual operations. -

2023-07-22Fashion update: What Puget Sound will be wearing in the year 2000
This brochure, published by the Regional Commission on Airport Affairs (RCAA), argues against the Port of Seattle's 'Flight Plan' proposal to add a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. It highlights existing noise burdens on South End communities—where jet noise already averages 65 Ldn and reaches up to 105 decibels—and warns that the expansion would add 120,000 more flights annually by 2020, consuming 12% of residents' daily lives with jet noise. The document cites health experts and a renowned noise specialist, Dr. James Chalupnik, to advocate for alternative solutions such as remote airports and high-speed rail instead of expanding the urban airport.
