to want the pilot to do his fecking stunts somewhere other .....

[pellmell]

than over the top of my house?
All afternoon (it seems) I have had one or maybe more small planes do loop the fucking loop over my bloody house......practicing some dodgy nose-dive moves etc.
Go away uuughhhhhhhhhhh!
I keep shitting myself when the engine seems to stop!
I live in a small village several miles from the next town etc. Plenty of fields to crash in (if you must)
Stay away from my roof!!!!!!!

YABU - I used to live under the flight path of all the planes on their way to central London for flight pasts/ air shows.

I LOVE an aerial display.

YANB, sounds a right pain in the arse, not to mention the fear factor and bracing yourself for impact!

While on a recent holiday, an RAF fighter jet would fly over head every 20 to 30 min at deafening volume, it really did ruin the holiday for us all, and they didn't stop til 9pm (and started at 7.45am without fail)

crikey, i saw someone doing that in henley, do you live there

blimey, mumsnet is more powerful than I thought.
Crazy plane has gone!

We used to live on an RAF base with 3 sqdns of jets. We also had visits from Eurofighter, aerobatic pilots in jets, red arrows, etc. it was endless. The worst was when they took off at midnight and arrived back at say 3am!

Saltire such unsociable times, errrg! We were shocked on holiday to learn that they were even allowed to cause so much noise so early/late in the day. There should be a law against it!

Not henley no.
I'm in buckinghamshire somewhere!

O.k, so some like arial displays
I don't.....
oh for fecks sake, I can here it coming back (like a fucking blue bottle stuck between the window and the curtains)

My dad was in the RAF and we lived right next to the base.

I love a harrier, I do.

Oh I live on a non flying base for the first time - it's rubbish! I want jet noise!

Not crazy plane back but gorgeous shirtless boy brandishing an industrial grass trimmer!
sounds very similar after a busy day

They aren't allowed to do it,I don't think.

We had this last year (small village here too),small plane nose diving and doing loops very close to residental areas and the fucking school -I was bloody crapping myself.

Dh said when he got home I should of called the CAA (and took the plane number-it was that low I could read it!)-bit late by then.

when I say boy, I mean MAN of course (they all look like boys the older I get though....
I think I might just go and sit down

pellmell - same problem where we live - also away from large cities but with several nearby hobby/amateur aerodromes.

So on a lovely summer day with no sounds but the birds twittering and the bees buzzing, it starts. Some idiot doing stunts over us round and round and round, cutting the engine, then restarting it [we live in the eternal hope that one day it won't]!

We wrote to the CAA but were told that the Rules of the Air Regulations state that while aircraft can't fly below 1000 feet over a congested area of a city, away from such areas it is only 500 feet from any structure, person, vessel, or vehicle (this is minimum distance not height and can be measured in any direction not necessarily vertically). So it seems the bugger is not infringing any rules.

Have been tempted to do something similar to the stunt perpetrated by the teenager who painted a large penis on the roof of his parents' home. However, ours would be simply be a request to "F**K OFF"!

I've had the same with those paramotor thingies
they were well below the 1,000 feet and buzzing us, doing silly stunts all summer from first light to well after DCs in bed.
Appart from them nosing..... it's like having a wasp in your ear all day and spoiled our garden for us
I did google 'paramotors noise pollution' and all I came up with was that they are recommended to wear ear plugs (I bet).
I contacted one of them through e-mail (they had an ad on their wing) and he was ever so polite and said if he could know our position they'll make it a no fly zone.
Things still continued after, but not below the 1,000 ft so much
until one of them had a fatal accident (DD witnessed too ). Now they don't use the sky here so much.

But no tanbu ....I feel you pain

Every weekend we have a light plane that flies very low down our street and it annoys the hell out of me. Another hundred yards to the north and it would be over farmland so why cant it bugger off there..

We regulary have VC10's (the noisiest aircraft ever) flying overhead and they're not as irritating as the little thing

YANBU. We used to live right under Concorde's flight path. You couldn't hear yourself think when that thing flew over. Lovely to look at though.

YANBU - we used to get RAF Tornados doing low level bombing runs over our house and regularly cracked the windows. Mum used to run in the house and phone the base commander who always used to apologise profusely and say something reassuring in his best RAF oficer accent:

"Oh don't worry Madam he is already over Germany and won't be back this afternoon."
