Every hurricane season, a group of brave pilots and scientists heads into storms to collect data needed to create forecasts and keep people safe – and it all starts from Lakeland Linder International Airport.
Studiale said he lives nowhere near the airport, but that his life is constantly interrupted by the rumble of low-flying jets over his house. He added it s ruined his ability to enjoy outdoor activities at his house.
David Pendry, a resident of Lakeside Preserve, said he and his family have to pause their conversations every time one of Amazon s jets passes overhead.
Veronika Guttenberger called Amazon a malignant cancerous growth whose rapid growth and progress is threatening Lakeland s quality of life with its noise, air pollution and increase in local traffic. I don t like Amazon and I don t like this airport expansion, she said, her words nearly drowned out by spontaneous applause and cheering.
