Correct, but i always ignore cargo

'747' was a euphemism for 'bloody huge old plane'. The point stands though, I'm astonished that I get aircraft noise when an airport is ten miles away.* Especially when the landing/take-off routes are intentionally not routed over land (SGn land)
Don't get me wrong, it is an issue in London where flights line up going west down the Thames. You hear that at times if you live in town. That said it only gets intrusive if you live right down under the flight path in mid/west south London. (and like being near a rail-line, I think you soon get used to it and just sub-consciously blank it out).
* also, the point being, 360 days/yr I don't. But this week it's like they've been trialling the space-shuttle or something
