We're in the direct flight path where we are in Airdrie. It's kind of fun to watch. It's like they use our street to line up for the airport (obviously not for real, it's just that the flights line up exactly over the middle of our street), LOL. When the new runway opened up, it got pretty bad over our place - it seemed almost non-stop. You get used to it fairly quick. They made some changes, from what I am given to understand, so the number of flights is definitely less than before. There is the occasional plane, I have no idea which one, that when it comes over, it sounds like the wheels are about to graze our roof, and our house shakes and we've actually peeked our heads out a couple of times to see what sort of plane it is. Whatever it is, it's good sized and flying lower than most of the others. I don't remember which airline it is, but we have noticed there seems to be a difference in the amount of engine noise from airline to airline, which obviously is a difference in aircraft used.
We've never filed a complaint though. It is what it is and with whatever changes they seem to have made, it's much better than when the new runway first opened, so we just don't care.
