I am deeply concerned that there has not been great management of the airport and it has been allowed to grow to an untenable level with flight schools. Leaded AvGas is used by small engine planes that make up 96% of the traffic North Las vegas.

Leaded fuel and noise are hazardous to our health and well being
All aircraft, including military, should be required to adhere to a minimum 1000 ft altitude except when on direct path to runway for takeoff or landing.

States are powerless to restrict them, the FAA holds all the cards.

My pets go into a panic attack mode every 5 min when small planes or Sky Combat Ace flying loud E300s in formation to attack densely populated. It’s so loud that even I have to cover my ears. The sound is so loud you can hear the vibrations though your body cells. This is criminal illegal assault on our homes
