There's a lot to be said for that approach! Back in 1988-92, my then boss, bought a Lockheed PV2 Harpoon, a WWII Navy bomber. On the way home from airshows, we would buzz his house, to let his wife know we were back. He told his neighbors if they had a problem with the noise, to call him first! Never did get a complaint, the neighbors would often be outside Sunday afternoons waiving. Can't imagine what those twin 18 cylinder 2800 cubic inch, 2000 hp engines must have sounded like from the ground! Much louder then a Cobra I'm sure!
