Military Pilots Try To Keep Hawaii Skies Quiet. Here s Why It s Hard - Honolulu Civil Beat
Oahu residents have long complained about noise from military flights and some worry about safety. Reading time: 7 minutes.
Like many people in Hawaii, Edwin Kimura has been spending more time at home during the pandemic, making him much more aware of the frequency of loud military flights overhead.
“I’m noticing how often they fly in, like every hour. It was unbelievable to me,” he said. “They’re coming in formation over my house.”
Kimura said he doesn’t understand why the aircraft can’t just follow the freeway or stay over the ocean from where he sits in his Honolulu home near Aina Koa neighborhood park, they have the whole sky.
