Regarding a recent letter to the editor (“Why can’t aviation schools be awesome neighbors?” YourValley.net, June 8, 2021:
Aircraft training schools are awesome neighbors! Training aircraft have been flying safely out of Williams-Gateway and Falcon Field for more than 80 years. At one time Williams had so many take offs and landings each day it was reported to be the busiest airport in the world.
Training, and other aircraft, like the Sentimental Journey B-17 and B-25 from Falcon Field, frequently fly directly over my Queen Valley home and I find myself standing agape just listening and watching them go by. I find aircraft to be mechanical beauty in motion.

It appears to me that we are much more likely to be struck by lightning than an aircraft falling out of the sky. If we are going to worry about something, it should be something worth worrying about.
