This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

An "airport neighbourhood" where people can store their planes in their yard and taxi directly to the runway (lemmy.ml)

I live basically across the street from an Air Force base so I get turboprops over the house at 1,000 feet starting at about 7:00 5-6 days a week. Doesn't bother me or my wife, we just like planes.

I love planes, but I wouldn't want to live next to a fighter base. Cargo planes are super cool though

It's a training base so we've got both here. I'm just on the prop side. Cargo planes are super fun too, used to fly C-17s over my old house all the time before we moved here.
