Dear Editor,
[RE: Increased air traffic over east Maple Ridge brings complaints says councillor, Aug. 31, The News online]
I’ve lived in Webster’s Corners for 15 years. Not as long as [Maple Rdige Councillor] Gordy [Robson], but long enough to notice any difference.
The only noticeable change has been an aerobatic pilot who has come to practise a few times this summer and that is noticeable as his/her plane is significantly louder as it loops and spins and rolls through the sky to the east of us (probably somewhere over the 272nd Street area).

Other than that, the average small private planes aren’t causing any more noticeable difference today, than 15 years ago.
And I love seeing them.
Perhaps the only suggestion would be to move the aerobatic practice area a bit further north.
Hugh Peden, Webster’s Corners
