Letters to the editor: Airport needs alternate arrival track; reparations for women?

Planes landing too loud and low I am a lifelong resident of the Camarillo Old Town neighborhood since 1950. Old Town has always been a special place to live — excellent weather, small-town atmosphere, and friendly people. Presently, I have deep concerns about the quality of life in my neighborhood due to the incessant noise and air pollution caused by airplanes flying all day directly over my house at low altitudes. This is due to an awkward flight landing track for the Camarillo Airport. An alternative arrival track should be studied, implemented, and emphasized further to the south over agricultural open lands, including a size limit of the planes allowed to land. The planes continually landing all day over the Camarillo Old Town residential area are so low and noisy, one can often read the call marks on the airplane fuselages. The quality of my family’s health, well-being, and value of my cherished home is suffering, including that of my neighbors. I am very, very disturbed by this.
