[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently moved to Glover Park. Today, the airplane engines started up at 6am and haven't stopped all day. This is the first time we noticed it since moving here a few weeks ago. We were shopping on Wisconsin Ave this morning and it's pretty clear that the planes are flying directly inland, rather than going up the Potomac River. I can visibly see them cutting inland. What the heck is going on? Is there some sort security issue that they've changed the flight path? Does it seem worse than usual?[/quote] The flight path changed after 911. They usually start at 5:45 and can go till 11pm or later. Maybe you have your windows open? [b]They fligh over NW DC because there is no congressional representation[/b]....so nothing you can do. [/quote] There's one main runway. The planes have to go somewhere, and the direction changes based on wind. Many parts of VA deal with noise as well. This topic is so tiresome. You want to live in a major urban area? There will be noise! [/quote]
