I have just one question for Michael Hall: How do you really feel?
Hall owns a home in Ridley Township, where he’s lived pretty much peacefully for 10 years.
But Hall says his life is now miserable, and he blames the Federal Aviation Administration.
Like many county residents, Hall’s home is under the new flight path for departing planes put in place by the FAA. He says that coupled with noise from nearby I-95, the racket is now unbearable.
It’s a complaint many county residents are making.
But Hall decided to do something about it. He decided to send the FAA a message.
Hall climbed onto the roof of his house and used white sealant to pen a note to the FAA. He didn’t mince any words.
Without actually using the complete word, he basically dropped the F-bomb on the FAA. He also made it known he wants the area to be a ‘no-fly zone.’
Hall says he was ticked off as much by something he read as much as anything the FAA did.
It was in the Jan. 12 edition of the Daily Times that we reported an airport spokesperson saying that since the flight path changes were put into effect, they have been logging three calls a day.
It struck me as low.
It struck Hall that way, too. Since then I’ve fielded any number of calls from readers who agree. And they think they know why the number is so low, even if it is more than they ever received before the changes went into effect.
Hall made the same point a lot of people told me. Every time he called the noise number at the airport, the voice-mail box was full.
By the way, the number for the Philadelphia International Airport noise hot line is (215) 937-6233. Or you can send the FAA an e-mail at 9-aea-noise@faa.gov.
In case they don’t yet realize it, the FAA should know people here in Delaware County are hitting the roof over this issue.
In Michael Hall’s case, literally.
