Woods, golf course and apple orchards. This is why I have no sympathy for those in the airport's vicinty who always whine about noise and play the "let's go back to YMX" card. The airport was there long before housing development. Don't like hoise? Then don't buy a house around YUL.

Although technically, evern since the late 1960's it was made clear that Dorval would not exponentially grow as it did as most of the bigger planes would be going to Mirabel (let's assume the bigger planes do int'l routes). Of course, there would have still be some big planes for US flights but obviously, the amount of traffic and especially of jet engines was never planed to be that important.
Iy you bought a house next to Dorval, you can obviously expect some traffic but let's say you bought your house in 1989 or so and you carefully evaluated the level of noise and air traffic but thought it was acceptable. And then, less than 10 years later, you end up with basically ALL traffic for 2 airports, I for one wouldn't be impressed.

but maze i worked at the end of the runway in the industrial park, the prop planes are the biggest culprit, the jets today are 20 times quieter than they were 20 years ago as well. the engine companies pride themselves on thier quiet engines. Rolls Royce for example has been constantly working to quiet the RB211 (the chevy of the turbofan engines) When i worked at rolls you could walk by the outlet to the test cell and the rb211 was only noticeable by its wind noise. Compare this to the spey or the avon which you can hear comming a mile away,
speaking of rolls royce, they opened in lachine in 1955, thier building near the airport was originally the blackhorse brewery stables.

I hear planes going overhead almost every day in Saint Laurent and I understand why people are upset. It's loud. Doesn't matter what anyone says, those planes are loud. Sometimes I am walking and one on it s way in flies right over me and it s shocking. You can just feel something very powerful swarming by you. I would be very surprised if all that turns out to be "harmless".

And they come often. In the time it takes me to smoke a cigarette there can be as many as 7 huge planes flying almost right over me. You can see them coming for miles. It's like non stop lol. and it goes on into the evening.

Wasn't part of the deal at Mirabel that Concordes would fly there on a regular basis?

i read that too, because they said dorvals urban location couldnt take supersonic flight. another thing that was a nail in montreal as a airport citys coffin was longer distance flights so montreal was no longer needed as a fuel stop
