Residents need to stop complaining

To all of those people who live close to Paine Field — stop whining! Paine Field has been an active air field for decades. Jets have flown there since the Air Force was there. Boeing and other airline-related companies have flown out of there for decades also. You’re the ones who moved there! Get over it! What a bunch of over-privileged whiners. The noise you make over this is louder than any other noise coming from that area.
