Sky Combat Ace is now routinely tuning off transponders in a busy airspace, relentlessly FOCUSING on Summerlin, Las Vegas, to assault and decimate residents with rogue ear-shattering flybys, dives and aerobatic maneuvers.
- The FAA is a captured federal agency by aviation powerful lobby groups that is destroying communities and is damaging the American people’s lives and well-being, has laid waste to our environment and has exposed the American people to UNSAFE levels of loud ear-damaging decibels and TOXIC air emissions; these harmful Pollutants are dumped all over our communities at low altitudes and are linked to VIOLENT crimes, respiratory disease, asthma, cancer, heart disease, abnormal fetal growth, Alzheimer's and dementia, they are harming the human genes at the DNA level.
- The American people know and have experienced many times that we have fallen victims to corrupt agencies that have NO ethics or moral conscience. The FAA with the help of abusive aviation authorities is allowed to act above the law, by poisoning millions of Americans every single day.
- The more we ask for a solution to this never-ending nightmare, the more we are bombarded with deception, truth denial and dark web of harassment, egregious lies and propaganda perpetuated against us.
- We must act in every community and expose their secrets and dark web of LIES by shining the light on the TRUTH; The American people are under heavy assault, retaliation, aviation bullying and abuse, TRUTH denial, blatant lack of regard for the evidence in front of them & the mounting human health crisis- toxic air & carbon poisoning, harming our citizens, our children - despite enduring YEARS of abuse and aerial assault.
- Congress has enabled the aviation industry to trample all over our most basic human rights and FAA is their enforcing thug.
- This is a reminder that a vote for Susie Lee and other politicians is a vote for thuggery and bullying of the American people, and it's a vote for inflation, inequity & climate terrorism, It's a vote for constant community disruption by rogue aviation players and intense and dangerous operations of sky combat ace, which at any time can CRASH into our homes, as they have before, and kill people. Sky Combat Ace has been kicked out of Henderson and other ports, because city officials deemed them extremely dangerous to the health and safety of their residents. It is time to VOTE OUT members of congress (Rep. Susie Lee) and other politicians (commissioners, Mayors and city council members) unwilling to deal with this very serious quality of life, HEALTH and safety issue.
The FAA with the help of local and abusive port authorities has been treating our communities as “noise sewer” and an “artificial noise corridor”.
NextGen has been FAA’s Carte Blanche to dismantle and discard decades-old noise mitigation agreements, across ALL US airports.
“Nextgen is FAA’s war on noise abatement” according to FAA’s Nextgen victim.
They irony is that aviation apologists are still using the excuse of “why don’t you just move”, perhaps to be deliberately obtuse, or to obscure the negative impacts of aviation imposed upon millions of Americas, but “where should we move to”?
Thanks to FAA’s NextGen, there is nowhere to escape the hellish repetitive noise, or the danger low flying planes impose upon communities below.
The fact is that in a country as big as America there is very little place left to escape low flying planes (barrage of commercials, helicopters and small planes are assaulting homes, 24/7), Many US cities, towns and entire communities (even rural areas) are now living in a virtual airport, thanks to FAA’s debilitating concentrated flightpath (no matter how far one lives from an airport).
And for anyone to think that this will not affect you or your family, and you are not going to be burdened by 24/7 barrage of low altitude, loud and offensive planes, well, you are not paying attention. FAA’s newly created flightpaths over dense population will ensure that sooner or later everyone in America will be living in a “war zone”.
It’s been more than a decade of this deception that concentrating flightpath will make them “quieter”, persecution, discrimination, criminal abuse and assault, and FAA has refused to acknowledge Nextgen as “failure”. Furthermore, the FAA has resisted implantation of any changes to “regulate” the menacing self-serving and often abusive general aviation, or to implant their own “fix”.
Ways of “ignoring” the public, corporate denial and victimization of FAA’s nextgen victims:
Governments, Corporations and powerful lobbyists are well-placed to conceal harms and crimes caused by their criminal activities. In case of rogue aviation, any claims of wrongdoings, illegality of chartered flights (for instance ‘sky combat ace’ registering ‘adrenaline rush ride tours’ under ‘flight school’ to avoid ANY safety oversight), disingenuous low flying harassment, fatal crashes, auditory torture, history of illegal substance abuse and relentless assault are repeatedly ignored, refuted, and gaslighted, in some cases these reports are “shunned” by the FAA, abusive airport authorities and corrupt federal and local representatives.
Corporate denial is a commonplace strategy to victimize the victims, and it works.
For instance, the noise report by the FAA and Clark county department of aviation is filled with falsehoods and is tone deaf to the needs of communities impacted by rogue aviation players. The report is written to obscure the data, to empower rogue and dangerous aviation activities and benefit aviation money that’s often not even local.
It is grossly illegal for Clark county department of aviation and FAA to falsify noise complaint report and to keep covering up for major safety breaches, egregious aviation noise, for instance sky combat ace tuning off transponders in a busy airspace to repeatedly assault and aviation bully our home.
The aviation lobbyists with the help of abusive Clark county airport authority, city of las Vegas and local and federal government have been “condemning the condemners” …
Here are just some of the crude examples of aviation greenwashing, victimization in green criminology and aviation corporate and airport denial:
“Victims are repeatedly told they are the ones engaging in harassment campaigns, and they need to stop their so called “annoying calls and emails”, simply for daring to speak truth to power,
“Complainers are labeled ‘disgruntled old angry residents’ who are rude or nasty (despite enduring years of assault),
“Airports are falsifying noise complaint reports, blocking calls and emails, tempering with data, tagging protesting residents as ‘regular callers’, to discourage individuals from filing noise complaint report.
Residents are disrespected and labeled as “Karen” or “NIMBYs”, while rogue aviation players are regarded as “heroes” and “economic saviors” …. Here are some examples:
“Entitled ‘Karen’ is complaining about noise again? Why don’t you just move?”,
“The NIMBYs have nothing better to do than to just sit around the whole day and complain about noise”,
“Complainers are ‘NASTY people’, the airport was there first”,
“I don’t hear any planes, I don’t see any planes”, despite barrage of low flying planes invading dense population,
“This is federally funded airport, federal airspace, aiming to suggest that rogue pilots can do whatever they want”,
“The nerve of these people buying overly priced home next to an airport and then complain about plane noise” – [Although your home is probably nowhere near the airport, in some cases 10 to 40 miles away],
“Denying the existence of low flying planes, low flying harassment, aviation bullying and abuse, despite solid proof of satellite images”,
“Ignoring calls/emails, even blocking emails and calls from the public who are just pressing for answers and accountability after years of relentless assault, while corporate airports, counties, abusive local and federal Government write blank checks and make huge sums of profit at the expense of over-flown and severely abused communities”,
“Denying cases of pilot harassment, pilot stalking, low flying harassment and targeted assault (despite mountain of documented cases)”,
“Denial of mass bombardment of homes by rogue pilots, inviting other aviation players to acoustically dive bomb homes for MONTHS, and even years targeting homes of concerned residents, to further punish, intimidate, harass and cause psychological warfare”,
The victimization even go as far as IGNORING and muffling any opposition and concealing the “hidden” suffering and injuries caused by the state (crimes perpetuated against the public by the powerful, rich and influential), we’ve all seen it in cases of Government bullying and corporation thuggery, rogue aviation, or environmental pollutants, these cases are not prosecuted the same as street crimes, even though their impact is a lot more severe, often killing, injuring and poisoning millions of people.
For instance if I ride my “very loud” Harley up and down someone’s street, like 100 times a day (focusing on disturbing those I’m getting complaints from), I will be arrested for “public nuisance” and “targeted harassment”, but recreational pilots and practicing pilots can do endless loops and ridiculously noisy aerobatic maneuvers above congested areas, focusing on protesting residents, and within hearing distance of their homes, for days, months, and even years, violating counties’ noise ordinance, and the airport noise abatement procedures, often Violating federal guidelines shamelessly and flagrantly and still get away with it.
Thanks to “free skies for ALL”, rogue pilots and greedy airlines can harm our basic quality of life with total “IMPUNITY”. And if you dare to complain, or spend hours in front of a computer logging hours and hours of aerial assault, they gang up and mass bombard homes of concerned residents, just to “teach you a lesson”, and then shamelessly deny any evidence of planes targeting, terrorizing and tormenting protesting residents.
The local and federal government (the FAA and aviation and airlines) have been using “shock and awe” to muffle any opposition and bring everyone into submission:
We all know the avaricious aviation goal of unfettered capacity expansion is wanting higher airport capacity (in an unsustainable way), at the expense of poisoning millions of Americans, General aviation benefits itself, while imposing large impacts upon many.
It is not only nationwide, it is a global phenomenon (for example some cities in UK are already experiencing this issue), although US is one of worst examples of countries severely impacted because of corporate politicians and members of US congress.
General aviation pilots, Hobbyist pilots (for instance Parasitical Sky combat ace rogue pilots Banned or kicked out of Henderson, NV and other ports), commercial airlines, cargo, air-tour helicopters, flight schools, you name it, are getting funding and, pumped with public money, they are heavily empowered by FAA and US lawmakers, local politicians, and abusive airport authorities.
This wasteful superficial and menacing recreational activity is highly subsidized by tax payers money (not taking into account the monetary value of public officials, abusive Local and Federal, acting like employees or consultants for this polluting and menacing industry), and yet we wonder why our public transportation or public schools are underfunded and allowed to ROT.
They claim they can no longer build new airports outside the city limit, (like other countries do), while tripling their own salaries (for instance Clark County tripling salaries to $475,000/year, further burdening taxpayers with higher government spending, a fundamentally abusive and wasteful practice). They are allowing small planes to fatally crash into homes, setting homes and American people on FIRE, they are allowing our infrastructures to crumble and fall apart, they do not care about people ending up homeless on the streets because of high inflation, they do not care about America’s toxic food supply, obesity rate, mental health crisis, high unemployment rate, higher cost of living, or our dysfunctional government and disintegrated monetary system.
Instead of building new airports outside the city limit and building new underground tunnels and fast trains for easy and efficient commune, they increase their “airport capacity” by opening up superhighways above densely residential areas (without conducting any noise or environmental study), they even lower the altitude of these planes and ignore the loud decibels residents get to endure for decades, just to “save fuel” for airlines, this is all happening because the FAA and congress have been receiving bribery money from aviation (ignoring the FACT that more than half of this traffic abuse exceed FAA’s legal limit of 65 dB).
Our airspace has NOT been designed for this high volume of air traffic abuse, in the meantime continued string of airport runway near misses, major safety breaches, DEADLY small planes across US cities and horrific “737 max crashes” continue to haunt the public.
All over America, the Communities in sacrifice zones pay with their health. No significant impact is the farce they label it with, as millions are being driven to despair & are punished while GREEDY airlines & abusive general aviation make HUGE profits.
The abusive general aviation with the help of FAA, US congress and airport authorities have turned our peaceful blue skies into a DARK dumpster of inescapable hellish repetitive noise and air pollution.
US congress and our local representatives have become weapon of mass destruction, they are all standing idly by a captured federal agency (FAA) and abusive aviation businesses who black-top over our homes and smother us beneath a slab of repetitive roaring noise and ghastly pollution (Ultra fine particles, cancer-causing lead, carbon and PM2.5).
To get a picture of what Congress has been up to, serving the aviation industry and its powerful lobbyists, congress passed nextGen to Law in 2012 (most members of congress did not read it, aviation powerful lobbyists wrote it and congress signed it to law) and 12 years later most members of congress are totally indifferent, inactive, and dismissive of damaging the American public and total destruction of lives.
Examples below are some of the current worst-case scenarios where General Aviation and airlines operations have soared, as have pollutant impacts, in some cases doubling in a few years, yet no environmental or sound studies or public engagement process preceded any of this growth, as a result of this GREED and profiteering passed on to the public.
The Front Range of Colorado, Queens (New York), Long Island (NY), Las Vegas, NV (KVGT, Harry Reid), Seattle, Burien (WA), Los Angeles, Long beach, San Francisco, Phoenix (AZ), Flagler and palm beach county (Florida), Portland and Bend (Oregon), Atlanta, Georgia, Somerville and Mercer county (New jersey), Belmont North Carolina and south Carolina, Hanscom Field (Massport), Boston Medflight Massachusetts, Dallas, Austin, Fort Lauderdal (TX), Philadelphia , Washington DC, and Michigan among many others are some of the worst examples.
North Las Vegas airport (VGT) is a perfect example of perpetuated injustice, obscuring rogue aviation negative impacts imposed upon American people, to benefit aviation money that’s often not even local.
Traffic pattern are now almost 5 – 10 – 15 – 20 – 40 to 50 miles LONG, (at low altitude), FAA has been aggressively ‘collaborating’ with airline/aviation industry and has forced all aircrafts into a few narrow corridors, shrinking flight paths from miles wide to a mere couple of thousand feet wide, with frequent flights at much lower altitudes. Henderson powerful lobbyists and politicians kicked sky combat ace loud stunt planes out of Clark county district G and A – (Henderson, NV) and dumped this abusive business over densely populated Las Vegas (district C, district B, district D and district F), where they get to terrorize quiet residential communities 5 to 10 miles away from airport, as much as 30 to 50 times a day, along with 500 low flying planes, assaulting homes day and night.
American cities and towns are “under siege” by GREEDY airlines and rogue aviation players, making HUGE profits at the expense of pain and suffering of millions of Americans FORCED to live underneath these flightpaths:
FAA's low altitude toxic spewing debilitating newly created flight paths have plagued our local communities. Loud planes are flying at much much lower altitude directly above residential neighborhoods (which they were never allowed to), making the lives of millions of Americans a living HELL.
A letter to QuietskiesLV, from FAA’s nextgen victim in Clark County:
“The FAA and the aviation industry have tried to dupe us by saying that planes are getting quieter. But the FAA already knows that the FAA's own data shows "a substantial increase in the percentage of people who are highly annoyed by aircraft noise over the entire range of aircraft noise levels considered, including at lower noise levels" (https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/policy_guidance/noise/survey
The cause can only be more planes, which is exactly what MOSAIC will result and exacerbate.
We should have no illusions that newer planes will provide any relief anyway.
For example, a Czech Sport Aircraft SportCruiser is no less annoying than a Cessna 172.
One of the most annoying with its unusually loud and high-pitched buzz is the Extra EA-300. It is what Sky Combat Ace flies to torment Las Vegas.
The "sport" and "aerobatic" naming also motivate even more irresponsible and careless pilots to build their personal entertainment on top of the suffering of countless folks on the ground.
Flying is a privilege, and general aviation has repeatedly demonstrated that pilots abuse the privilege. When a privilege is abused, the privilege should be taken away, not to grant even more privilege”
I urge QuietskiesLV to encourage your audience to:
- remind the FAA the noise problem we are already facing, and
- how irresponsible the FAA is to knowingly propose MOSAIC that can only exacerbate the noise problem.
The comment period has been extended to January 22, 2024:
https://www.regulations.gov/docket/FAA-2023-1377/document
The pendulum for general aviation in the United States has already swung too far. Whatever the cause and effect, the truth is that it is the United States that has had a continued string of runway near misses (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/21/business/airline-safety-close-calls.html Let's work to move the pendulum to what people in Europe enjoy”
This is a nationwide health & quality of life issue for residents below, there are more than 70 aviation-impacted community groups and millions of Americans impacted, Hundreds of thousands of hard-working residents in Clark County are being negatively impacted, the aviation impacted communities have been crying out for help and NO help or relief is coming to our communities any time soon.
Some cities and elected representatives (Seattle and New York) are beginning to help their constituents by publicly speaking against this injustice and holding FAA accountable and addressing aviation negative impacts imposed upon millions of American people:
Recently Congressman Anthony D'Esposito of New York held a press conference against FAA's abuse of the Town of Hempstead. Thank you Congressman D'Esposito, hopefully you are not only paying a lip service and can actually do something to hold FAA accountable.
There are a Few members of congress have been trying to reform FAA (few and far between), however FAA has continues to LIE to congress and has shown NO accountability to the American people, but the aviation industry and airlines that has captured it: https://nextgenrelief.org/congress-and-nextgen/
The government's noise body and scientific researchers have told the inconvenient TRUTH - aviation noise, air pollution, in particular low altitude concentrated flights and prolonged hours of aerial assault, especially amongst women COSTS lives. The FAA, abusive port authorities and US Congress have disbanded it; they can't keep a lid on it forever - the TRUTH is finally out:
Plane toxic pollutants and aviation noise is causing tens of thousands of premature DEATH in America, the Congress has failed us again by refusing to reform FAA, in fact congress has given criminal FAA a FREE pass to destroy and ride roughshod all over our local communities.
Congress has FAILED to turn FAA into a regulator, the FAA has become a delegator and a consulting firm for airlines and abusive general aviation mob and greedy airlines, they rather put our lives at risk rather than making life-saving changes to these flight paths.
This is a federal agency (FAA) receiving +$50 million a year lobbying money/bribery money from airlines/general aviation to deregulate the skies above quiet residential zones: An Open Letter To Department Of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg From FAA NextGen Victims: https://nextgenrelief.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/FAA-NextGen-Letter-022221.docx-7.pdf
Ultrafine particulate pollution from planes threatens the health of millions:
EPA finds small planes' lead pollution threatens human health:
Airplane noise exposure increase risk of chronic disease:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/06/240603172239.htm
Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Rogue government agencies, US congress and local and federal politicians are poisoning millions of Americans and exposing American people to toxic air pollution & excessively loud decibels, for fun & profit-making.
In Las Vegas our representatives (Susie Lee, Steven Horsford, and Clark county commissioners, Ross Miller and city council members and Allen-palenske, Mayor Carolyn Goodman) DO NOT care how the repetitive loud decibels and air pollution is jeopardizing the residents’ physical and mental health:
We have governance of NO accountability. Noise, fuel, lead and other harmful pollutants are constantly being dumped all over our local communities at low altitude, it is killing and poisoning the American public.
We need a new administration, most of our current representatives need to go, especially members of US congress who voted NextGen to law.
American people need to elect new members of congress who are more responsible, who can reform FAA and are not beholden to powerful lobbyists or special corporate interests.
Susie Lee is a representative of a dysfunctional congress often bragging about serving Nevadans, Sun City seniors or children, when in reality congress is utterly gridlocked and dysfunctional.
Susie Lee has refused to deliver any relief to seniors or Nevadan families struggling with higher cost of living, economic downturn, job losses, drastic increase in rent/groceries, run-away inflation, increase in crime and mental health issues, people sleeping on the streets or rogue aviation acoustically dive bombing our homes 24/7.
Susie Lee is running again to serve herself, while being involved in rampant illegal insider trading, In fact, Business Insider reports Susie Lee violates the STOCK Act again, by failing to properly disclose trades worth up to $3.3 million, Susie Lee has violated the STOCK act more than 200 times, [source: https://thenevadaglobe.com/congress/rep-susie-lee-violates-the-stock-act-again/
https://www.businessinsider.com/susie-lee-nevada-congress-stock-act-trades-disclosure-2021-9 ]
US congress and Susie Lee keep violating American people’s constitutional rights by allowing FAA to walk all over our communities, these corporate politicians are cashing out and simply could NOT care less about Swarm of commercial planes, sightseeing helicopters, small planes and aviation cowboys stunt planes sky combat ace exceeding FAA’s legal limit of 65 decibels, (kicked out of Henderson and other ports) tormenting Las Vegas.
Congress continues to allow this, and has FAILED to act. Clearly in the eyes of these selfish self-serving corporate politicians (from New York’s Chuck Schumer to Nevada’s Susie Lee or Steven Horsford), we are WORTHLESS.
Congress and FAA can NO LONGER claim they don't know better, they have taken too much political bribery from the airline industry and powerful aviation lobbyists to turn a BLIND eye to this important health, and quality of life issue, sabotaging our health, safety, sanity and quality of life.
We need to bring in new blood to US Congress and use our voting power to get these politicians like Susie Lee out.
We need a Congress that can reform our county’s fundamental issues like thirty trillion dollar debt (short-term) / 100 trillion dollars (Long-Term), inflation, higher Government spending, economic and social injustice, deregulation of toxins in our food supply by FDA (killing the American children, young adults and elderly at large), and FAA’s overreach, abuse of power and corruption, deregulating the skies above our homes, and make these agencies accountable to the American people.
It’s simply sickening that our country is allowing this to happen to all the taxpayers while American people continue to struggle with much higher cost of living, mental health crisis, criminal violence and health issues, or rogue aviation acoustically dive bombing homes day and night, as a result of GREED and corporate profiteering.
The living condition across many US towns including Clark County is hostile. And the rest of us who are fortunate enough to still afford a roof above our head CANNOT sleep or wake up at a normal hour, the aviation noise is bad enough that we can’t work at home, or simply rest at home when we are sick, or relax and enjoy the serenity and safety of our homes which we are entitled to.
The economical assault against the American working class has succeeded, we have two class system thanks to our corrupt sociopathic politicians: “Rich vs. Poor”, while these politicians keep getting bribery money to hold on to their power, they all could care less about weaponization of abusive general aviation and GREEDY airlines against the American people.
The adjective of “Orwellian Dystopia” is becoming wholly inadequate to describe what is being allowed to happen to our country.
They are turning America into an "Orwellian dystopia", enforcing draconian control by surveillance, disinformation, intimidation, truth denial, manipulation ... Proving the fact that No act of rebellion against the "pesticide and noise Empire" remains unpunished, no matter how small or insignificant.
This a Reminder that a vote for Susie Lee, Steven Horsford. Mayor, Las Vegas city council members (Allen-Palenkse) and Clark County commissioners is a vote for inequality & climate terrorism, It's a vote for constant community disruption by abusive practicing pilots, rogue aviation players, sky combat ace and rouge pilots acoustically dive bombing homes and poisoning your families with deafening noise and neurotoxin.
It’s a reminder to our representatives that Delta, United or general aviation mob and abusive Sky Combat Ace don't cast votes in the elections, but we do — and we will have a long memory over your belligerence, indifference, and persecution of our local communities.

Here are some of the comments from victims of FAA’s low flying planes:
"Flight training schools amplify the harms they inflict on us by recruiting foreign students to bolster their bottom line. The students' home countries won't tolerate the environmental degradation, so they are complicit in turning it on us. In our community, Hillsboro (Oregon) Aero Academy rakes in government subsidies (federal, state and local), boasts a student roster of over 50% foreign nationals (Pacific Rim, esp China, and EU countries), abuses our environment without compensation or meaningful limitations, and sends its profits to its out-of-state owners. Keep the pressure on public and private leaders to end this corrupt and poisonous business model" David
"I am suffering daily from living near the 80 decibel noise level and the leaded fuel air pollution generated by the Vance Brand local Airport which is owned by the City of Longmont which has no power to control noise and air pollution due to the FAA" Carla B
"The U.S. Congress via the FAA has essentially declared war on communities across this land. GA airports have become launching pads for antisocial bullies intent on poisoning residents with noise and lead as well as other criteria pollutants and air toxins. State legislators are also complicit in promoting these inhumane aerial assaults by providing matching grants when the FAA dangles money before them. Since 2005, Oregon’s Connect Oregon program has awarded $114 million to some of state’s most toxic, lead polluting airports - facilities that for the most part, serve the less than 1/4 of one percent of the population that can afford to own, lease or charter private jets, fixed wing aircraft, and helicopters. Flight schools and other for-profit aviation businesses are also major beneficiaries of this oppressive, destructive authoritarian approach to governance. This minuscule sliver of the population also receives additional funding from the Oregon Department of Aviation - a state department established to pander to a privileged few at the expense of the greater good. Oregon’s elected officials at all levels of government have failed the people of Oregon by refusing to take immediate and definitive steps to put a stop to these hateful, abusive attacks" Miki B.
"Las Vegas, NV. I've been under constant assault by commercial airlines flying low and loud over my home since October 2023. I have counted three per minute nearly every day 6 a.m. - midnight at times! I contacted the ombudsman whose reply was that this was temporary and to expect this only 25 percent of the year. It's now been seven months - over 50 percent of the time. That was a lie. I bought this home 20 years ago and it never happened until now. I called the FAA noise hotline yesterday and was told, "The FAA decided to use that runway and we can't do anything about it." Now what? My health is deteriorating with PTSD symptoms and my thoughts interrupted every 20 seconds. If I'm on the phone, I must stop talking until the plane passes and tell the person on the other end of the phone, "I can't hear you. You're going to have to repeat what you just said." Try that three times a minute! I can't sleep. Can't think, Can't have friends come over. Isolation. Trauma. Torture. Racing heart. This is no quality of life. Others are getting rich while homeowners are suffering" Gwen
"There are 20,000 nuisance airports in our minority communities. These airports are responsible for 70% of the leaded air floating around. Our families breathe this contamination air. These airports are for the most part subsidized by our tax dollars. Why are my tax dollars going to subsidize airports that bring lead contaminated air and noise pollution into our communities? There is no safe level of lead and day in and day out our children are being neurologically and physically damaged by these nuisance airports. Flying an airplane is a luxury. Breathing clean lead free air and living under quiet skies are a necessity for all communities. How much longer are we going to let our communities be sacrificed for so,dones personal hobby? Children over profits" Maria
"Stop the audio and health abuse! Stop destroying our peace and quiet in our homes" Florence
“Small planes and sky combat ace abusive pilots flying directly over homes 5 to 10 miles away from VGT, 100 times a day on what should be a quiet weekend. There is no functional system or govt in Clark county even though residents are being taxed and sentenced to DEATH. Many residents have given up and are just leaving, others are I guess cloaked in veil of denial. We live in a violent colonial system that has no respect for sovereignty of our towns and cities, this is none-sense violence unleashed above homes, war like maneuvers, loud planes circling and looping here for the past 24 hours, almost non-stop, low altitude flying harassment, terrible egregious repetitive noise and air pollution, to stop us from sleeping 5 hours solid, even at nights, We can’t live under constant noise pollution and rogue air pilots you kicked out of KHND. You are violating our right to exists underneath sky combat ace and other small planes oppressive flight paths” Angela G.
"“Can we get our skies back, please? Our quiet nights or a few hours of peace during the day and in the mornings without awfully loud decibels that give us migraines and nausea for the rest of the day? VGT's noise sewer is at full flow, almost non-stop 7 days a week - Corrupt greedy aviation and air pilots and corrupt politicians have been conspiring with the bent regulator (FAA) to 'prove' concentrating flights makes them 'quieter', while labeling us as few "angry disgruntled residents" who are just "noise sensitive" It's not just CO2 – aviation noise is a health issue. ➡️ Noise pollution leads to disturbed sleep, detrimental to physical & mental health [Peered reviewed STUDY] ➡️ Aircraft fuel pollutants cause thousands of premature deaths per year [ Peered reviewed STUDY] Out of control corruption in regulators and politicians cause this. Fraud, greed, freaks and psychopaths promote aviation unsustainable growth, to serve the bottom line of a sick, criminal industry” Alison S.
“I called Derek in Susie lee’s office to complain about these aerobatic planes flying like crazy above our heads in Sun City, 89134 every 10 min or so, Derek is rude, deliberately obtuse, indifferent towards the suffering of the residents and did not care that Susie lee LOST our vote, Derek was gloating and happy that Susie Lee lost our votes. Derek and Susie lee do not care about old folk like us voting for them or not, they do not care about senior citizens, and how this toxic air pollution is affecting our deteriorating health” Don V.
“NLV airport is ignoring calls to stop us from entering complaints at the same rate at which we get abusive FREAKS invading homes. It’s disgusting and illegal. How many citizens living under these flightpaths can expect to start seeing elevated cancer clusters? Five years? Ten years? To spring pollution and terrible repetitive noise on communities as quickly as possible, FAA and congress removed environmental review oversight” Brian. W
“Good Lord enough already Like living in Ukraine or Gaza & wonder if Bombs will get dropped next. If crooked US congress and FAA let them, they would drop bombs on top of our homes too while acoustically dive bombing homes since 5 am again. Aviation dirty money is doing its work, buying for complacency, gaslighting the public and aviation greenwashing ... Criminal aviation racket has been given a green light to dump massive amount of unregulated pipe noise and air pollution, on top of our homes ... Shame on Miller district C, for destroying your constituents life, is it because you are going private and are just holding the sit to finish your term?, we've been emailing, calling , asking for a simple change of flight path and you cannot offer us any solutions ... What a useless commissioner you are, along with our city council woman, maybe you should ask district G commissioner Jim Gibson how he managed to dump sky combat ace stunt planes on top of your districts, instead of calming lack of accountability .. .District G is also BLOCKING all the emails regarding their collusion, to dump sky combat ace on top of district C and D and densely populated las vegas. AND our corrupt politicians don't give a damn! They are playing along FAA and aviation racket, one massive mob, psychotically arrogant ... the air pollution is so dirty and filthy, it causes CANCER!” Katrina O.
““I write today in regard to the civil aviation noise exposure in Clark County. The detrimental effects of loud and repetitive aerobatic DEAFENING plane noise dumped over our homes from Henderson. The incredibly noisy sky combat ace stunt plane makes numerous trips each day in our area [30 to 40 times a day], hammering the same households as much as they feel like it. We believe that the almost constant noise and worrisome fuel pollution should, at the very least, be spread more widely over the area—something that could be achieved easily if 50% or more of flight patterns were directed toward the more sparsely populated area north of Airport, or if the plane spent more time flying further out over North. These trips often happen within 15 minutes of each other and on a highly repetitive loop pattern, repeating the same loop, over and over ... The seemingly continual whine of the engines has made it virtually impossible for anyone in the area to enjoy being home, yet alone outside. What used to be an immense pleasure of mine—spending time in my garden—has, frankly, turned into a nightmare from above. Disperse these concentrated loops, stop tormenting us because you are corrupt and incompetent, this is pure EVIL” L.T.
“Aerial Harassment and Psychological Intimidation at North Las Vegas airport - The aerial harassment and psychological terror and torture at VGT has been intensified since 1000s of complaints have fallen into DEAF ears, barrage of offensive low flying planes invading homes, Many of my neighbors and I haven’t slept for two nearly years, since Henderson abused their power over the city of Las Vegas and dumped a heavy load of non-essential and traffic over densely populate las Vegas. From disingenuous LOW flying harassment (grossly Illegal, meant to cause harm and trauma), to aerobatic dives above homes, to turning off transponders from public (we had 3 cases of rogue pilots assaulting homes this week again, 3 cases could not be tracked on multiple flight trackers), mostly loud aerobatic planes maneuvering to scare everyone … From police helicopters circling above populated areas (at 2 am, when there is NO emergency going on), to military sonic booms and military heavy presence over densely populated (that gives us severe migraines and permanent ear damage), to ear shattering loud acrobatic planes maneuvers by E300s (kicked out of KHND) looping above homes, every 15 min or so … screaming commercials or flight schools harassment, you name it ... we are an open target. Anytime we call anyone, we are told or threatened to stop our “annoying” phone calls, or calls go to Voicemails, unheard and unanswered, we are repeatedly told LIES that pilots are flying with federal regulations (when satellite images show they are NOT), emails are getting bounced back and despite the non-stop aerial assault on our homes, we are told we are the ones engaging in harassment campaign (No one sane and sober does this to anyone for any reason). Let me be clear HERE, you are ALL denying us the right to exist and live a healthy life, you are using your city attorneys (paid by my tax dollars) to abuse and assert your own power and fragile egos over us. Since you all have started campaigning against us, let’s be clear, “We are the victims. Me and thousands of my neighbors are the victims here”, not the other way around, so STOP intimidation techniques and further threatening us into silence, most of your aids who cannot even do a simple task of answering calls or being civil when we call to tell you we are HURTING and have been hurting for a long time, we are the victims of FAA’s nerve racking low flying toxic spewing planes. Most of you are refusing to answer calls/emails, or even acknowledge the inhumanity and savagery of your actions, Harassment like is perpetuated against us by the police/military state, deliberately. Although it’s illegal to spy on, stalk or harass anyone anywhere. These men with their loud toys from above have made it very clear that they are more than willing to act above the law and go as far as terrorizing anyone who dares to take a stand against their filth and cruelty. Neither I nor my of my neighbors or sister have been permitted a full night’s sleep in nearly two years. My sister is driven to nausea from sheer stress and exhaustion nearly every day. She is SICK, suffering from fibromyalgia and has had multiple surgeries she cannot recover because of the noise. I often also am nauseous, The aerial abuse and crimes against the victims of these greedy pilots need to STOP. The aerial harassment, abuse and assault need to STOP. YOU all have tried to convince us that the hell is beneath the earth. I can tell you it is in fact just overhead. We are living in HELL. People commit suicide every day from harassment far less egregious than that perpetuated against us by the police state and corrupt politicians. Thousands are being driven to despair and hopelessness every single day”, Cindy L.

“I have submitted 16 formal complaints to the FAA on this, these A**Holes are purposely flying below regulations. I have video proving this fact, next step is to follow home each pilot and ride my "Very" loud Harley up and down their street, give them an idea of what disturbing the peace sounds like. Between the 260 flights daily coming out of N Vegas Airport, we are in the direct flight path of take off. Move it 10 degrees to the North, and it will avoid all homes” T.Kenney
“Hanscom Field, managed by Massport, is a constant nuisance. East Coast Aero Club relentlessly does "aerobatic" dives, etc. focusing on people who have protested. Same with Boston Medflight, 24/7 noise-strafing like they're landing on the roof. Also promoting huge expansion of private jets. They're in cahoots with the FAA out there.

“What happens to people when they are elected to a public office like a city council/mayor? Do they become deaf to the needs of the people who elected them? Do they slowly begin to feel part of some elite class that can’t tell us the truth? I just don’t get it. You have a city attorney paid by the taxpayers ... do something about this constant traffic abuse, they are circling here, day and night to deny us the right to a healthy life. Get them all together and file a class action or group lawsuit. The attorneys are already on the payroll, what’s the problem? Oh, being a gutless coward is the problem ... You have left us with no other option. The expansion of flight schools, hobbyist pilots and sky combat ace over homes and the deafening noise is getting worse. the decibels are loud, unhealthy and should be outlawed within hearing distance of homes, I was at that meeting the other day and spoke about the horrendous impact of sky combat ace planes kicked out of Henderson and other pilots. This is happening because you are evading your responsibility to do something about this because the FAA and Clark county have made an irresponsible selfish self-serving decision by dumping a heavy (NON-Essential) traffic over residential homes west of KVGT” Betty W.
“+1,200 signature on Change.org to honor your constituents and move these parasites out of NLV airport, ZERO enforcement, ZERO changes in this appalling situation, except things are getting worse for those living underneath these goddamn stunt planes, small planes and low flying helicopters, raising a big middle finger to taxpayers and feeding off of our hard earned tax dollars like leeches. The whole aviation industry and goddamn US congress Susie LEE, Clark county and FAA are a gaggle of ticks latching on to the public money” Mary. R
“Flying is a luxury. There are 20,000 airports located amidst our minority neighborhoods. These airports do not serve the community, bring lead contaminated air and noise pollution into the communities and for the most part are subsidized by our tax dollars. My tax dollars should not be going to sustain nuisance airports that are affecting our families neurologically and physically. Stop this racial discriminatory issue” Maria R
“I don't know how people live with the noise of these filthy, lead-blowing death traps. They have been rolling around in a swamp of rancid sewage. Our politicians are allowing our quiet residential neighborhood to turn into a noise and FILTH sewage, for aviation filth, banned in other ports, your highest disregard for our health, environment or noise is just astounding. At this point and with a petition with more than 1,000 signature against this business, you find that the deterioration of our physical and mental well-being the most tangible benefit or are you most drawn to the devaluation of our primary assets or the erosion of life here? which one is the primary goal of the city, FAA or US congress? Because you are not listening to your constituents, and completely ignoring this serious quality of life issue” Ed.

“Asking the Port and the FAA to conduct noise monitoring or kick these scumbags out of VGT is like asking the foxes to guard the henhouse. The FAA has lied to congress many times. Quite the contrary, the FAA will continue to lie and manipulate to appease the demands of the Airlines, aviation degenerates, or sky combat ace” Paul S
“We are located and directly affected by the RMMA daily. The flight schools are my main concern. They have open game on our communities every day. We endure their noise and lead pollution 19-23 hrs in a day. We need a curfew in place to control our air space” says Teri M.
“This nightmare is happening in my neighborhood, and in communities all over the country. It is time to take back the skies over our homes from these selfish reckless pilots” says Luana R.
“General aviation MUST be regulated. The people on the ground are suffering due to these pilots who don't have any concern for people's health and quality of life” says Donna U.
“Real life on the ground ALWAYS comes after aviation interests, no matter how trivial, superficial, and unnecessary those activities may be. And even though the public is forced to subsidize these activities through free land donations and free capital improvements paid for by taxpayers. It's legal corruption, enabled by the FAA, and it's disgusting”, says Anne W from Boulder County.
“Total BS! We are in that direct path 215/ Ann rd (Vegas). I have personally sent multiple complaints to the FAA, they sent me the flight paths of over 400 flights per day! This flight path changed a year ago, it wasn’t directly over houses before, they claim they can’t fly further North because of military jets, BS!! F16’s fly thousands of feet higher. Something has to make this stop!” says Timothy K.
“I hate coming home to a sick wife whose health is further deteriorating because of incessant jet noise that doesn't go away, she cannot rest after chemo and it exhausts her. It makes my neighborhood sound like an airport and it seems like the FAA is using this as an excuse to reward these SOBs and allow them to fly even lower and more often to torment the same streets/neighborhood, 100 times a day. Whoever has authorized these disastrous flightpaths right over congested areas should be FIRED immediately. You are torturing, harassing, abusing and tormenting tens of thousands of your neighbors living in quiet communities (miles and miles away from airport)” says David D.
“It's the aviation industry, the regulator/ FAA and the government against the people. What a cruel, uncaring, avaricious place this has become.

This is a constant assault on our health, safety and sanity” says Jay F.
“Loud aerobatic planes, low flying helicopters and small planes putting on a show on top of quiet communities miles and miles away from VGT. We wear earplugs, use noise- canceling headphones, white noise machines, and turn up music to try to cope. The noise in unbearable. The fatal crashes and safety concerns are ludicrous. Keep making money for aviation degenerates kicked out of other cities because of deadly crashes, noise and safety. Stealing our health, lives & lands, they’re laying waste to our natural resources, poisoning our environment & mass culling. The FAA is overdue for an investigation & inquiry re tyranny, betraying our constitution & American people. Any city (any mayor, City Council) that cared would make this abuse illegal” Kim A.

“Pilots from this airport, and thousands of general aviation airports across the country are needlessly, recklessly and unapologetically harming and endangering lives. Their pollutants, especially lead and noise have dropped America's IQ (numerous journal papers contested ONLY by lead and fuel suppliers!) This is making our country less competitive, sustainable and this pollution increases violence! It's disgusting that any community leadership would be including revenue and economics which include these fossil fuel chugging machines and subsidies and count it as a benefit to their bottom line. This kills your constituents and the planet. To continue doing so can only be called misguided, dishonest, destructive and communistic. Las Vegas is turning into a gutter and an embarrassment to our country. I do believe you have underestimated the impact of such horrific noise, lead pollution and biodiversity loss. I encourage you to look at the massive increase in violence and reduction of lifespan and compare to premature deaths and violence correlated to location of noise and lead exposure, starting in your own community. There are thousands of studies and endless information which proves allowing this to continue not only devalues our property, it has devalued our country's resiliency, endangered citizens across the country as demonstrated in Murrieta crash, it has reduced intelligence and our country's position on the world's stage. The behavior of general aviation coupled with the willfull & in places intentional pollution, vast amounts of public funds, no REAL cost analysis and the undeniable and unqualified harms equates to daily, unabated human rights violations against the American people who endure aviations untenable toxic scourge. Furthermore, we have an extinction problem exceeding rate of dinosaur die off. The sheere amount of species removal for aviation is greatly understated. Aviations abusive and egregious activity goes far beyond cruelty and human rights violations, it is ecocide, murderous and suicidal. We must act in every community to stop the pollution and pitting aviation benefactors against the American people! Protect our lives, our resiliency, our children, our communities, our wildlife and our future by realizing cascading harms which remain unaccounted for. Immediately halt further growth at your General Aviation airports! Demand that the FAA and NTSB immediately enforce standards and regulation and prioritize protecting citizens and prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law. No more human rights violations against citizens of this country from aviation! Stop allowing the crippling, stupefying and killing of citizen by unnecessary and unjustifiable general aviation. Be part of the solution!” Dorinne T
“These increased harassment flyover our homes is nothing less than abuse of the powerless while big investors feast on this toxic aviation flight racket.

"This creation is nothing short of a money grab by airlines, facilitated by false data, provided by the FAA. Communities in designated sacrifice zones pay with their health, well-being, and decreased property values, all over the country. No significant impact is the farce they label it with, as millions of people are punished while others benefit; prior burdens were shared. Now the sacrifice zones bear all of the burden of airports traffic. The arrogance and stupidity is blatant. It must stop!"
“The FAA is corrupt and has been receiving kickbacks from the airline and General Aviation profits to look the other way. Politicians have defunded the EPA from noise and environmental studies of these closed narrow concentrated flight paths. Thanks a lot to our greedy corporate masters and the sleazy politicians that allowed this happen. Rot in hell!!!” Don B.

“Stunt planes, Pipers, Cessnas, and Cherokee abusive psychotic monsters that are declined and thrown away in other airports and cities have found a home in VGT. God help if the climate is windy or sunny. They fly over our houses, at a very low altitude, creating a noise that reminds us of World Wars. Sometimes it feels and hears like they go up and dive to bombard our houses. We constantly deal with small airplanes with unbearable noise who "touch and go" more than 100 times a day and circle over our houses annoying us and preventing us from focusing on our tasks or just enjoying the "serenity" of our homes” Tony R.

“What was supposed to be a beautiful and peaceful holiday was ruined by small planes and stunt planes, and HELL-copters. The Airport, City and FAA don’t care. Money is king, they just don't care and will appeal and challenge anything that threaten these businesses model of blasting out homes they effectively stole from people while torturing them. Our homes are turned into run down rentals because of this. We are ruled by corrupt, greedy, tell many lies sociopaths who treat the public like idiots or even worse for the overflown, repeatedly abused and harassed communities, we pay for your salaries so you treat us like peasants. What a sick dystopian place this has become” Karen D.
