[quote=UCGal]It is not true that Miramar does not fly at night. At least once a month they do touch and goes to certify their pilots in night landings/takeoffs. It’s over before 10pm though… probably before 9pm.
They also fly on weekends. Especially the weekend of the airshow – where it seems all noise restrictions are out the window. This was an issue when my kids used to nap. Not so much anymore. But on airshow weekends (once a year) it’s not uncommon to have it so loud that car alarms go off.
I live in UC – so we’re under the flight path. It’s true you get used to it. I don’t have to interrupt conversations very often… that happens more in Sorrento Mesa during the day.
You might also be interested in the accident potential zone… Especially folks in Carmel Valley and west Mira Mesa… the flight path out of Miramar is NOT due west… It heads north and then out over torrey pines golf course. The idea was to avoid dense residential.
Its especially loud when they crash thier planes in the nieghborhood too.

Week before the Mira Mar airshow is outrageous. I have planes loading g 100′ over the house. I went home for lunch one day while they were practicing and thought the house was coming apart. Very cool otherwise…
