Narrative:
I would like to enter my complaint against the low flying military aircraft flying over our farm. We brood laying hens and the noise created by these low flying planes sends the chickens into a fright. Not good for laying hens! I have to wonder if all this is necessary although I must admit since jul/xx/96 incident we have not had any fly-overs. Prior to that we seemed to be on the regular 'route.' possibly once a week. Hoping you can work something out.
