Aircrafts at night
4/8/2025 at 11:34 PM

Why is there so many low flying aircrafts flying over the west end in Brandon. They are so loud they wake my whole family. The Brandon Flight school needs to be sending these students way out of the city to fly. It's absolutely ridiculous

Why

Why single out the Brandon Flight School. Those planes could be private on a joy ride to see the city light. The flight school doesn't train over a populated area. You should think first before calling out a well established Brandon business that has been training pilots for almost 90 years. Including me!

medivac flights, search and rescue training, air force training, IFR training and many other reason why people fly at night.

It sounded to me like C-130 flying low. Couldn’t see it due to clouds though and it wasn’t on flight radar. But they do training fairly frequently around Brandon and at the airport

no need to be rude

It's a good question. We are in the west end and last night was ridiculous with noise well after 10 PM. In fact, one of my windows was rattling, so that's pretty significant.

I don't understand the need some folks have to be rude and/or sarcastic responding to people.

window rattling ?
4/11/2025 at 1:44 AM

I’m sorry but for your windows to be rattling they would need to be extremely low and be a much bigger plane like a c130 and if it’s any aircraft they can’t be that low to do that . I’m surprised no one is complaining about the transformers blowing in the north end .

a C-130 isn't going to rattle the windows like claimed.
