Those planes were not meant to fly without both engines. When they lost one, they couldn't keep their altitude. But he managed to keep it trimmed and throw out as much as he could in order to land it.

I came in with questions about insurance, and they told me my husband was eligible for medals. He never had any idea.

Each plane was making two or three missions a day. Some of them were just terrible. They were getting flak hits every 20 seconds for about an hour-and-a-half on one of the worst bomb runs.

And I fly planes all the time. And helicopters.

The conditions were just too bad for the other array of planes to fly in as we had planned.

I say, show me a comparison against other planes that fly out of the airport and frequency of take-offs and landings. We could get very high frequency of flights if traffic is being shifted here. Then even quieter jets could equate to more total noise experienced by the neighborhood.
