In response to the two letters in the January 2021 edition “Of Barking Dogs and Circling Planes”. We moved here in 2003, my husband was from the area originally but put many years in the Marine Corp, and worked after that for a time. We live about a mile and half south of the Deer Park Airport. Being a military family we, lived on bases or very close.
I think it is important to not link the issue of noisy dogs and airplane noise. The Deer Park Airport is an amazing asset to our community! Fabulous air shops, several airplanes related businesses, a terrific base for firefighting aircraft, and more. The Airport has really put Deer Park on the map for many years!
In response to Dec 2020 “Of Barking Dogs…” etc by William S. the answer is NO! My neighbor does not care of the quality of anyone’s life. I have lived in my home since 1999 and in 2016 my “Kiddie Corner Neighbor” got a dog… A BIG one, with a big bark.
In response to “Barking Dogs and Circling Planes” letters:
We moved to Deer Park in 2014. We knew from the time of the land purchase that we were near an airport and would have low flying planes over our house. They are no bother to us at all, regardless of the type of plane or the time of the flights.
I have loved airplanes and aviation from a very early age. When my grandson was little and visiting we would go outside to watch the planes fly over. I had shown him pictures of various planes, some from WW II. His favorite phrase (at 3 years old) was “I think it’s a Spitfire!!”
After reading your January issue article about Barking Dogs and Circling planes, I wonder if the couple did any research before moving here.
The airport has been in existence since 1944 and will continue to grow. Why would anyone move near an airport and then complain about the airplane activity? The pilot training does include flight patterns that are not in a straight line. As our city grows, so will the airport activity. The history of the airport is very interesting – guess why we have a road named Missile Site Road.
