I once worked at Smith-Reynolds airport in Winston-Salem, NC. The airport was one of those on Lindberg's national tour after his trans-Atlantic flight, IOW it had been in it's current location for a long time. Still, in the early 60's some AH's built houses within 200 yards of the end of the longest runway, and 737 departures by Piedmont Airlines rattled more than just the windows.

Yes, they thought that they had a right to complain about the noise, and were a continual problem while I was there, in the late 1970's.
