Just added a photo of the old and new "redhead" route into the article. The new route stays further north, crossing through upper Graton and Occidental.
Disappointed that the diagrams shown on the screen in the meeting at the high school had almost no points of identification on the ground...we knew no more when we left than when we arrived. The diagrams shown here a huge improvement. 'Bout the end of the day rush hour is our noisiest period...always take offs.
I used to work at China Lake and lived in Ridgecrest. The Air Force flew the big planes and the Navy flew littler ones. One night I felt my entire apartment shaking, I looked out to see the navigation lights of a huge airplane (B-52) flying over. They cut the corner of Ridgecrest where I lived. Then I moved out in the country. I found I was in the flight path between Edwards AFB and China Lake. Ever had a B-1 Lancer Bomber fly over your house almost on the deck (low altitude)? I guess I hear airliners but the helicopters that the power company and Henry 1 bother me more. I did see a U-2. Dragon Lacy reconnaissance aircraft once while walking in Ragel Park. She was very quiet.
I grew up in San Bruno, right under the flight path for takeoff. My best friend spent his whole life there, and the San Francisco Airport paid for him and everyone to replace their windows with new triple glazed windows to mitigate the noise. Couldn't STS offer a similar mitigation for folks under the flight path?
The article mentioned the redhead route (RREHD) three times, but never explained what it is. Please clarify.
