The question is why did you move into a new area/neighborhood and start whining when those tracks have been in place well over 100 years? I grew up 1900' from one of Miami International Airport's runways before air conditioning in homes was common. Windows open 24/7 and no problems at all!  I currently live 2200' from BNSF's Brush-sub and 2.5 miles from Denver International and again no issues.  My guess would be that the airport was built many years ago and homes/businesses came later. Also, a Cessna 172 is far from a $5M-$10M business jet to go "joy-riding" in. Those business jets used by the so-call "elites" are used for business not joy riding at $2K-$4K an hour to operate. Though C-172s are used for business too. The aircraft I've flown in the most was a 172 owned by a professional photographer that was based in Miami and bought the plane new over the phone. My dad taught him to fly. And he expanded his business to 8 locations around the country. He would use the plane to fly to them versus hours driving.</blockquote>
