Dear Surf Air,

Can you please spread out your vfr flight approach so everyone suffers the pain equally.

Atherton resident:

they already have spread out their vfr flight patterns. Thanks for pushing your noise into other areas. It's unbelievable to me that folks in Atherton can't deal with 20 seconds of noise passing overhead. Yes, it's about that, they pass over my house on regular occasions. It's especially unbelievable when you bought homes in the flight pattern of an airport. You folks need to wake up and realize you aren't living in the country. If you want "country quiet" you need to live there, not in close proximity to three international airports and multiple smaller airports. All of which were probably built long before you purchased your home.
