Noise planes?

[wuchan]

I was outside planting rice and I kept hearing what seemed like a noise truck. At first I just ignored it but when I stopped for a break it seemed like the truck was speeding around. Then I realized that there was a cessna circling overhead playing music and voting messages.

From time to time, the poLICE in Tokyo use planes, copters and blimps to harangue us on Sunday sleep-in mornings about pub[color="Silver"]l[/color]ic safety.

Used to get this quite often when I was in Yokohama. It's a complete waste of time though, because you can't make out a word that's being said. It's just noise, and therefore a public nuisance.

Got one Cesna 170/182 like this last sunday too... Was going to ask if it was legal to shoot plane down without hunting license...

It's only illegal if you get caught.

I live in the fly-over zone not far from Yokosuka (US navy and JSDF, a double whammy) so rarely a day goes by without at least 2 or 3 helis, a few recon multi-prop planes, and maybe a fighter plane of some sort being scrambled.
If I'm really lucky, multiple groups of transport helis (earth-shaking monsters) or Blackhawks/Apaches etc. in formation will cruise over at low altitude.
I've resisted the urge on more than one occasion to send away for one of these little units...

Don't ever fucking do that.

If you do, I hope they kick your door down in the middle of the night and take you to an undisclosed location where every pilot from Yokosuka and their mothers can come to kick your ass.

I would think the base was there before you were, ergo: if you can't stand plane noise don't go and live near a fucking air force base.

Re the Cessnas: get an airgun.

Heh. Now that's what Coligny should be aiming at the damn kids trespassing on his parking lot.

WRT the noise problem, I can't imagine a jet engine being much louder than the screeching, eardrum-piecingly loud station announcements they make on the JR Sobu and Keiyo lines.

When I was living in the south of Paris I was right under a main Helo road leading to the Heliport d'Issy les Moulineaux... for like 25 years... I could recognise the helo model just by the noise of it's turbine. I just loved their noise...


In Nagoya/Yagoto I noticed that often on thursday their was helo flyover (duckling style) and judging by their flying style it must have been some kind of rooky training day. Most of them were sliding left after a right turn away from the pathline of the others, over compensating on windy days. Or trying to do medium alt stationnary flight... not so well...

On an early typhoon landfall my wife came back home in the evening with a sad kid face... She was supposed to be with a patient transferred by helo and was all excited by the flight, but it was cancelled du to the high winds (landing on top of the Meidai Biyoin building in the evening with a typhoon on the way was not a gud idea anyway)...

(yeah... it was the "cool story bro" time...)

Don't ever fucking do that.

As I said - I've resisted the urge... (maybe I should have included a smiley to indicate sarcasm)

It was indeed, and I'm not THAT close, but being directly in the flight path between Yokosuka and either Zama or Atsugi means it's still noisy (I work at home, and I plan to move before too long anyway).
