This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I've lived under a flight path, ~9km/6miles from the airport - while I understand the difference between a 787 and a Cessna 172, I've got no earthly idea why anyone would choose to have a runway in their front yard.

Because us plane people have a crippling addiction...

Haha - like most addictions, this feels a lot like self-harm.
