Small airport is a few miles away, but you can tell by the aircraft, flight path and altitude as the flight path is parallel to the runway, its well beyond take off and landing, as I am not adjacent to the small airport. I tried to see the number on it, N.... whatever, no binoculars at the moment, he was way too low, other end of the property is higher in elevation and he would have buzzed treetops, or to the right a mile or so a small mountain with a huge broadcast tower on top, highest elevation and structure in the vicinity, rising 1185 feet above average terrain, with low visibility today, and the proximity of it, makes no sense to me. He was centered on my house, and it sounded like he was going to crash or peel the darned shingles off LOL. Rude, hey if worked the nightshift, I'd have bee-lined it to the runway and made my point known. There is commercial traffic bisecting his flight path at a higher altitude, and it can be busy depending on wind I assume, they use it to land, commercial jets fly over often, landing gear down, but they're a lot higher, upwards of 1000 feet or better, once in awhile they might be lower for some reason, but not often. Its not used daily, must be which way incoming traffic is directed to land based on the wind. I've been here the better part of my life and in that time I've never seen small single engine aircraft doing this, lately it was another plane, white, this was yellow and an older aircraft for sure. Just rude, no chance to recover if there is a problem and no reason to fly over residential areas that low, it sounded like he was going to crash land being so low. Late last fall, NYSP aviation hovered over this house and a few others while a dangerous suspect was on the loose, it was night time and he was below hedge row trees at times, I thought for sure he would hit a rotor and crash into a house, just nerve racking when these aircraft get so close. In that situation the only thing we heard was to lock our doors, almost 2 hours of this helo at treetop level, so I took appropriate measures and hoped he saw all the trees, it don't take much, and I understand they had a job to do, but was after something went awry, suspect escaped. Just a concerned citizen, nothing to hide, but sheesh, buzzing my house repeatedly, like the 3rd or 4th time in the past few weeks ? Maybe its just me LOL !
