Neighbours of Koah man object to his use of replica Spitfire to commute to work in Cairns

- 30/11/2017 Far North Qld man is currently restricted from flying his replica Spitfire once a week.
Permission or no permission, he’s made his dream come true and he’s not hurting anybody. This bloke is ace, I’d like to buy him a beer
Me too
I will do cheers on AV Gas
I was military and in no way does a single engine propeller aircraft sound like a jackhammer. Clown neighbors.
Clearly you've never heard a P51, a Hispano, or Corsair power up. ....about as loud as a top fuel dragster. We could hear them on the runway from miles out . That being said, these neighbors are just jelly lol.
These have nothing in common with modern prop planes .....these are warbirds , son. Not a stich of exhaust sound management or conversion on them . Every fraction of horsepower was considered needed for life and death. So no mufflers here lol.
Roon Bare just to clear it up; I’m a 30 year A&P, I.A. Here in the USA. I also hold a VFR, SEL endorsement on my airman’s certificate. Yes I have heard the RR Merlin and the P&W R-2800. Also the early Packard Allison the P-40and early Mustangs used. Face to face on the ground right next to all three engine variants. None of them sound like jackhammers nor top fuel dragsters. The drag engine reference is close. They sound like the soundtrack to FREEDOM and avgas powered love baby! I do agree the neighbors are just effin nuts and most certainly “jelly”! This btw. Was not meant to be a snarky reply just a courteous, I have experience in the aviation industry. Hope all who are reading this are healthy, happy and, safe during this crazy time we’re living in.
@@johnafsoc8929 I don't think they , nor I , are claiming they Sound like a jackhammer ....but they are friggin loud like a jackhammer ! I believe was the intended point . I've been not only next to, but In quite a few warbirds . Related a west Texas collector who recently passed. Still have a few for sale including the world's only flying PBY , a P51, an Avenger, and several others if you are interested . Fact is , any number of these planes can easily drown out the noise of a jackhammer ....how would I know? .....happens to be a rock quarry on the property too.
Roon Bare gotcha. We were on the same page this whole time lol.
What great points my opinion is simply I believe he should be able to fly his aircraft when he wants at a reasonable altitude of course.
He should have made a Stuka instead with it's distinctive siren
Riley Ghost make it drop water balloons and fire BB pellets
Stuka B-2 hell yeah
Lol! Yep.
Jealous neighbours. We can't have it so we'll make sure you can't either.
Effin spot on mate, my thoughts exactly. Jack-hammer my arse, what a load of old bollocks. A warm up and takeoff run with a motor of that type causes brief splutter of noise; then you can get on with your day as normal. Much more irritating are the twats that fly over me repeatedly on sightseeing/familiarisation/training flights in droning highwing Cessnas. This bloke is trying to get to work.
Me thinks the neighbors "need" a few strafing passes.
Way less noise than a tractor. Glad I live in TX.
All the Karens complained because the plane was louder than them.
The neighbours are sour because they lack the benefit of regional air superiority. Pehaps one of his neighbours (or a group of them) need to invest in either an A6M Zero or Messerschmitt Bf109 replica and go up and engage him in air to air combat... If the neighbours want to outright guarantee they win an air war then they could always aquire a replica Me262 jet fighter.
What a bunch of miserable no-hopers, I bet the tractors in the area make more noise. I wonder if they ever did anything challenging?? Not a chance!!!
Pathetic people.
They are the same kind of people who kept my granddad from flying his ultralight from land he bought. They claimed the would "disturb local wildlife", darn things no louder then a motorcycle on the ground.
Seeing a Spitfire flying over my house every day would be a dream come true.
I'LL bet they FART louder then that plane..
If I lived near, I’d be complaining...
...that he didn’t fly close and often enough!
Pity it's not a real Spitfire with a Rolls-Royce Merlin upfront, then they would have something to complain about !
Probably be 3 or 4 times expensive to own and fly a real one. Not practical
@@EnterpriseXI no shit
The Rolls-Royce Merlin engine was the roaring sound of freedom.
Apart from not sounding right Alison Spitfires just don't look right either. Sure they look good they are Spitfire replicas after all but the nose cowling profile change to suit the Alison engine just throws the original sleek lines off a bit... Still an Alison Spitfire would be better than no Spitfire.
i'd probably move next door to him if it was authentic ken :D luv that sound
Maybe not.........they sound fantastic best engine sound ever! But I did get your point they are LOUD and we here could legally fly over at 500ft not 1000ft makes me smile just thinking of it!
Wherever you live, you will always find there’s never a shortage of arseholes. They just disturbed MY peace from thousands of miles away. Who shall I complain to?
Good luck to the Spitfire guy.
i moved to the country on retiring in 2006,,,,,,10 acres and a 90 acre cotton field off my front porch. Past that, the business end of a regional airport. I have 3 flag poles in my front yard that the locals get their bearings on to line up for the field, and compute wind drift by looking at my 6 flags out front. after being here a couple of years i went over to the field and had a little talk with the manager there. Told him, i wanted guys to fly lower approaches and open their windows sos i could wave at them better.,,,,,,what a great place to live!!!
@@bill45colt You are my kind of "Good Neighbor".
Enjoy your life Bill45Colt😀🇺🇸🇺🇸🐘
Fucking arse holes every where
@Denise De-elbow HAHA you dont know the half of it,,,,,i have two cat dozers in the yard, one deuce and a half military truck out front, one john deere 4430 with cab, loader, and 10ft mower in the drive also. If you dont like that, then fair warning when you drive by. I also pee off the front porch when i like also. 5 ham radio towers out back also,,,35-57 ft tall
@Denise De-elbow another note,,,,my neighbors tell me they like my equipment and ideas. When they need ponds made, ditches cleaned out, stumps removed, terraces leveled, barns expanded onto leveled lots aside their barns, they know im the guy to call. Flag poles have dont tread on me flag, us flag, jolly roger, us coast guard, us navy, marine corps flag. They tell me they appreciate it all. And on Christmas for decorations i pull the tractor out front or one of the dozers and decorate it with flashing lights. FOr federal holidays, i have an ex destroyer flag thats 6x18 ft so we can fly a large one on special days......i can tell by your comments that you are soooo jealous of independence, patriotism, and the american way......you need to flex yourself a bit and enjoy life as we do....oh yes there is a short landing strip on the south yard a bit over 1/4 mile long and a firing range to the rear so i can shoot right off the kitchen table out to that distance also,,and dont have to wait for dry or warm weather....ive a cousin who you would love to meet,,,,off his back porch the nearest neighbor and paved road is 37 miles to the north,,,,he has it really nice
Good man. The neighbours must be miserable bastards with no soul. Fly safe buddy and keep on doing what you love. Respect from the UK 👍
This is a true story: There was this sad man living in western Finland, who repeatedly complained about the "noise" from a guy flying his ultralight aircraft in the area. Well, ultralights make about as much noise as a sewing machine. The ultralight pilot happened to know a Finnish Air Force fighter pilot, whom he told about this. Then one day, an F-18 Hornet passed above the grumpy old man's house with full afterburners on. The complaint about "noise" ended right there.
Thats the way to do it ha ha
@@daviddou1408 I don't care if you believe it or not.
If this is true then thats fantastic lol!
I find that rather hard to believe. But, I would believe the neighbor called the base CO and the pilot was reprimanded.
@@jay71512 Dude, it is. Sometimes the truth is more incredible than fiction.
"My Spitfire makes less noise than a Harley Davidson." (Patrick English)
Replica I guess not Merlin powered. Any way plane beats bike any day, I’m jealous. Cheers
"if you can imagine standing beside a jack hammer" Wow! There is so much dishonesty in that statement.
The moment they said he was an engineer answered all my questions, good on the man for doing what many of us only dream of. I lived on an international airport for a year and loved it, even now I live on the approach path for the ILS. Airplane sound is the fucking best!
My Dad used to say "Son if you want no criticism then do nothing. For as sure as you accomplish anything you will have opposition and critics." My hat is off to this man. Well Done! I am glad that here in the States the regulations are less stringent.
Karens in Cairns?....Apparently, nowhere is safe from Karens
who is karen??
bill45colt..A ”Karen” is slang for the embodiment of all of those negative people who complain about everything when they don’t get their way....like complaining about the gentleman using his spitfire from his own property in this video
@@skyjammer thanks
Karens/Hillary's supporters in USA.
@@waterheaterservices have the Nazi-republican supporters also their own way to name them?
Misery guts neighbours! Such an iconic plane with such a grand history I’d be proud to have it near my home. Well done mate for building it. ❤
Fly brother, Fly! If I saw anyone flying a Spitfire overhead, even a replica, I would salute them. Not only a great way to commute but a reminder of heroes past.
I have the same problem, the neighbours hate my zeppelin.
What amp you running?
Me as well, when I fly my Stuka Bomber. The thing is, they are a bit more nice, because after hearing the distinctive siren, they have stopped complaining
@@sakutaazusagawa208 😁
@@bobpert4030 Put that distinctive siren on your Zeppelin as well, and you will be good to go as well
In your case Karen is justified. If you can't learn to parallel park it without doinking her house, you should be grounded!
This guy is a legend
Yes he is
@masterblackthorn STFU ass hat What are you jealous Masterbaiterhorn Lmao
@masterblackthorn Im sure your in your moms basement watching cartoons eating a big bowl of fruit loops in your under wear being a key board tough guy. Your just a sad jealous little twat Lmao
@masterblackthorn I didnt ask if she was alive and sorry for your loss but im sure it was her basement little man lmao
masterblackthorn
Ah, my brethren; a troll.
Soooo, they're going to hear a light plane buzzing for about a minute, twice a day.
The horror!
You obviously know nothing about general aviation. They have to be warmed up for minutes, taxied, run up to thrust, held, released, brought to speed, then taken to the altitude he claims.
Necessary Evil He means when the aircraft lights over not want to starting up and taking off
Necessary Evil You obviously know nothing about general aviation. An airplane when taxing is near idle, and makes no more noise than a generator. The run up takes less than a minute, and the engine is not brought to full power, normally only 1200-1700 RPM. Unless you are within a hundred feet of the plane the noise is minimal. I lived at the approach end of an airport, at a point where the traffic would be about 300ft above my apartment. Not a big deal. I did my school work just fine.
@@rocket535inc Thank you. My point exactly. And the landing is nearly silent.
@@rocket535inc Any of those planes have a Merlin?
Those miserable old farts, ...
Jealous ...
The Spitfire legend lives on, while they will be forgotten, completely.
They are simply JEALOUS; they are not pilots nor do they have the money to do this!!! Fly On! Live IS tough for many.
I would so love it if replica aircraft flew over my house, especially WW1 and WW2! What are they moaning about?
@masterblackthorn Yes it goes on for hours, not!!
@masterblackthorn I mean it's not like he's flying a air show in at max it's 15 mins of noise if that twice a day on his own property. It's not like he's making a runway over others property or flying over head for a hour
@masterblackthorn hey fuck stick....they dont OWN the air....all he wants to do is fly in it.
Every morning?
masterblackthorn its only 10 minutes a day i don’t get what your complaining about
It's the ( Not In my back yard ) brigade get these sort of people all over the world, net curtain twitchers got nothing better else to do other than complain about someone else life, you carry on mate and give them a Winston Churchill salut👍🇬🇧👍
Any day you get to see a Spitfire in the sky (even a replica) is a good day. I wish he lived near me
My brother has his own helicopter and takes off from his front yard at times, and after several complaints from (jealous) neighbours, he simply took the whole neighbourhood out on a free joy flight. They all loved it and problem was solved for good. He even ‘fished’ a neighbour’s drone out of a tall tree. Of course, you will need a two seater or more to conduct this. We are in Canada btw.
They're just salty because they sit in traffic. They can get bent.
Oz is sooo civilized! We Yank’s may need a grading permit to put in the runway, but then no flight permits are required...unless we’re located right next to a major airport, which this gentleman obviously isn’t. We fly whenever we feel like it, as the weather allows, and need not ask permission nor file a flight plan. Good luck and soft landings, mate!
He's not asking permission to fly. He's asking permission to make a lot of noise every morning.
I lived in the civilized US for two years in Spring valley lake Victorville CA, in the desert, and I got a letter asking why my front lawn was brown and to rectify it. Freedom!
@@myday805 that's a HOA? I mean they are a odd anomaly of the US never real got why they caught on here particularly unAmerican thing that happens here
My Day
Most of us would say that's on you for moving into a neighborhood with an HOA. Personally I can't wait until the yard turns brown so I don't have to mow it anymore until it rains. I would probably "wrecktify" the unfortunate idiot that thought he could tell me to rectify the brown yard.
@@cypher1o1 Yet still there they are. Freedom!
@@myday805 I mean there are still ongoing cases saying they might be unconstitutional.
Mr English and his English Spitfire - his neighbor Mr Deutsche has a Messerschmidt 109 - dog fights soon
The freedom they have was the result of planes like this flown by brave men who fought and died for them. Have they chosen to forget that?
Goodluck to the gentleman! Here's hoping he succeeds in his endeavor!
"real" story: lone engineer maintains & uses daily a complex flying machine that is also an important history piece.
media "angle": ! ! ! KARENS ARE COMPLAINING ! ! !
It's a replica. But I agree
It's not historical. It's a Cesna in a Spitfire suit.
It’s not news until someone complains, media sucks 99% of the time.
It is not a CESSNA. It may have a lycomming, Continental or even a RR engine though as did the Spitfire. Like a war movie it is historical in that it keeps history alive, (they don’t actually kill people) but true it is not an historical artefact. Prettier than a Cessna. Side point what exactly do you farm sounds icky (Organ Farm)
It's not historical. It's fake and a stupid folly.
People didn't mind the noise of that engine a few year back
People didn’t mind the Lycoming TIO 54 a few years ago? What’s changed then?
@@Mrtweet81 society
GO Patrick... good luck to you and your beautiful aircraft 👍
Blimey theres always someone out there to complain about something think its called jealousy
If they complain about that, then they should have checked out the sound of the original Merlin hehe...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! (Been there, done that!)
I was glad to hear them in 1940.
Wished i was his neighbour i would be cheering him down the runway everyday!
"It disturbs the peace and tranquility of the area baahbaahbaah..." Jealous bastards - let the man fly.
Bring there a P-47 and give them something to complain about ...
Why drive when you can fly. That says it all. Leave the guy alone.
Well imagine being in one of the few countries with the space to do it and four locals oppose the idea.
I'd love to have him nextdoor - and flying from home. And I can't even fly - bastards took my medical!
Great for getting to the hospital. He just needs to find a way to put another person in her.
Why does he need council permission ? It’s his land and aviation is a federal matter.
If it’s anything like the UK, then he has to have planning permission.
In the UK, without planning permission, we’re allowed to use private land as an airfield, 28 times per year - It’s known as the 28-day rule.
The reporter said that he was currently allowed to fly about once per week - which would suggest that there is a similar ruling in Aus.
It’s a noise-abatement issue. Of course, no planning permission is required to run a lawn-mower, which makes about just as much noise and generally for longer. When taking off, he’ll run his engine at idle for about five minutes to warm it up, at just above idle as he taxis to position for takeoff, then at around full-power as he takes off and he’ll be in the air and climbing away in about ten seconds. As he returns, he’ll make his approach at near idle and then taxi back to where he parks. In the grand scheme of things, he probably is not as much of a noise nuisance as his neighbours are making out him to be.
@@RoadRunnerLaser Damn, I thought "self-righteous haters" were only in the United States of America.
I guess they are everywhere.😢😒
Over regulated Australia.
@@wms1650 It's a human trait. The same everywhere for millennia.
The Commonwealth government gave away a lot of local airports, airfields and landing areas to local councils. Many councils, dominated by property developers and their arse licking mates the real estate agents, shut them down. They justified it on costs, environmental issues etc. Then they were sold off for, surprise, property development. One of the holdovers is that small airfields and private landing areas in particular, are subject to council regulations, regarding noise, environmental and community impact etc. Councils can not regulate on aviation per se, as Central Coast Council has tried to do by redesignating the deffinition of Warnervale. They can make life difficult by using their own local authority.
The neighbours are just being complete arseholes - because they're jealous!! Simple as that!!
What those neighbours need is a Bf 109 Messaschnitzel.
Maybe a Stuka Bomber with a siren would be appreciated more
mybluebelly lolz!
And this is why America was invented. He could fly it whenever he wished here.
I find it fascinating that the man who said it disturbs the peace of the area has kind of an English accent... you would think he would support a spitfire in the skies... even if it is a replica
its not like he is doing low level laps of their farms lucky to hear it for 1 minute
Oh south Australia, i cant believe you've done this..
*The sound of 7 flying lawnmower lapping on sunday
What a bunch of killjoys!
A semi or B-double rumbling down the road makes more noise!
Antipodean NIMBYS . Got to love them
That is a very clever man working the problem of heavy traffic, instead of letting the problem work him. Shyte neighbors unfortunately with the only thing disturbing the peace...being the worthless neighbors.
@masterblackthorn You must be one of the neighbors. This man is living his dream,. he worked hard for it, let him have it. Personally, I envy him.
@masterblackthorn Get a job you wanker, then you can have money too.
masterblackthorn hes far enough in the air where the average yard blower is ten times worse. These people are just whiny shits with nothing better to do.
His flight path doesn’t even go over their property. It’s just useless bitching over nothing.
This guy is a flying legend up there. I've heard him fly over when I was staying with a mate near there and it doesn't make any bad noise.
Maybe if it was a 109 they would change their mind?
No chance of that...the spits shot the shit out of them all...😅😂🤣
Maybe A Stuka Bomber with it's distinctive siren would have been appreciated more
I would straff the buggers... that will shut them up lol
"I will commute to work in my homemade fighter jet, and if you object I'll strafe your houses!"
They only jealous and moaners... if not this they moan about the price of fish
@masterblackthorn same goes for you
@masterblackthorn You must be one of the neighbors. This man is living his dream,. he worked hard for it, let him have it. Personally, I envy him.
@masterblackthorn And you sound like a sad little person that does nothing in life, and gets upset when others with actual motivation do........
@masterblackthorn - Misery? Do you even freaking know where Koah is? Might as well be out in the sticks. Honestly if the odd flyby makes your day miserable then don't ever go into a major city because you'll be on the floor crying on the floor like a baby over the noise.
@masterblackthorn - Ah yes lets get all upset over an aircraft flying by for a couple of minutes. So noisy unlike the 24/7 wildlife. From loud squawking cockatoos to possums and Koalas that sound like pigs being slaughtered at night. People like you are just insufferable hypocrites so empty and vapid of any meaning in life.
I would love to have him as a neighbor. Would be outside with popcorn every morning watching that beautiful Spitty take off!
How bout I switch places with the neighbors, I'd love to even see the replica and hear it all day
Mareeba Shire Council approved his request to be allowed to use his airstrip all 365 days of the year, up from 52 days a year. Only 1 take off per day.
Richard H: hopefully 1 landing per day too???
@@PhilbyFavourites 😂 hopefully 🛬
I'd be downright pissed off too if one of my neighbors did this, because I didn't think of it first. Way to go man, follow your dreams no matter who it pisses off.
Are peoples lives really so shallow as to complain about this bloke using his plane?
They're just jealous
How's that whole freedom thing working out for ya?
It's not the noise that is pissing the neighbours off.
It's the fear two heavy balls of steel may fall and hit their rooftops.
Thats the way...do it your way, fly free brother...
They didn't sound Australian those whingeing neighbours. What the f has it got to do with them anyway.
Bloomin' Aussie legend, this fella here! Get a Harley too for your short journeys!
They should move if they don't like it.
@@jasongermany5786 No need to get nasty. Settle down, good sir.
Gotta love country people, they are against everything.
Now if you went to them and said, here we have a nice plane for everyone to enjoy when they like, oh that's lovely here would you like a nice cup of tea and some pie.
Jealous neighbors 😂🤣 wished they were able to fly that iconic war bird. Voting yes to fly all u want to work sir🧑✈️
Many have been glad to see a Spit flying overhead.
@masterblackthorn you do have a point ,,,
@masterblackthorn well yes ,, your very lucky to have been so close to the original, many of us never will be . I guess its really his homage to the real thing , for me its Mosquitoes , just nothing quite like them.
Hope he gets his permit. I love to see planes flying over, I always stop and admire them, wishing I was up there
Jealous neighbours.
Wait what, take off and landing. It can't be more than 10 minutes a day at most.
The Spitfire ensured peace and tranquility man! For God’s sake. Let the man fly his plane and enjoy seeing a piece of history - replica or not.
I sponsor this guy to build a replica F-105 Thunderchief for flying 28 times/yr. I bet his entire neighberhood will opt for the Spitfire on commuter interval pretty soon...
Busy bodys, I live next to Southend Airport in England. The noise is hardly noticeable
Let the man fly he's earned it with the hard work building the Spitfire. I had a local crop dusting airstrip near me growing up as a kid. The city council where I lived asked the crop dusting outfit not to fly before 6:00am. I would hear the planes take off in the morning with the windows open but if the windows were closed not a sound until he fly's closer. This was my alarm clock to get up for school in the summer months. The old gentleman that owned the airstrip was a airplane trainer during the war he would always have great stories to tell. He never caused any trouble. He was a gem to our small community.
Where we live, in West Norfolk, UK, we have the sound of RAF & USAF jets almost daily carrying out practice over the nearby bombing range. Occasionally, some privately owned military aircraft do aerobatics and we have also seen the Red Arrows and Concorde in the past. It's an airshow that costs us no entry fee, and far from being a nuisance, we enjoy it, so shame on you NIMBYs. Good luck to the pilot.
Jet noise- the sound of freedom!
I thought it was POMS that did the moaning! I wish I had a neighbour with a replica Spitfire :)
They'll all die soon of old age, let those prison colony jack-wagons waste away, and let this man FLY!
Just as well he doesn’t have the Merlin engine- now that would get attention!
Sounds to me like his neighbors are jealous they don't have airplanes.
What do they call Karens in Australia?
William Henderson In Australia they're called Karen.
They are called Karen, unless you go for the more traditional Aussie, then you could use a number of adjectives not limited to but including, boofhead, drongo, tosser, or Galah.
I'd tell you but I don't know how to make UA-cam offer an upside-down font.
Jealous neighbors!!!!!
I live in an air park near Chicago. Planes taxi around and takeoff all day. My wife says it is quieter than when we lived near Ohare airport. The sound of general aviation aircraft is no big deal...especially one. Why would anyone need a “permit” to fly anyway. Is that some sort of local government desire to control people?
From England I hope this guy got permission for his daily air commuter flight ✈️👍😉
Let the man fly his plane!!! Wish i could look up and see a Spitfire flying here in America!!!!
Pack of bloody whingers! My dad was in the 2nd AIF & was accepted by the Canadian Airforce to fly Spitfires but the Australian army wouldn’t let him go. As dad put it “Would’ve probably ended up In the Battle Of Britain, & probably wouldn’t be here to tell you that one!” 🤣 RIP Dad. Anyway, good luck to you mate!👍🏼
People should mind their own Bloody business
Absolutely
It's not exact but it's got the body so I hope he gets his permit, keeping history alive.
If it was a Stuka with a siren that might be something to moan about.
Which language is the woman at 1:06 speking?
Let the man have his spitfire. These people are just jealous that they don't have one.
Good on yer , go for it, from start up to takeoff any noise from it would be short lived and his carbon footprint for journeys every day would be less than a quarter instead of driving. You have built a great model of a spitfire and sounds a lot quieter than the Merlin. Your neighbors are just jealous that they didn’t think of it first.
Mr English and he flies a spitfire .. like Captain America on the back of a bald eagle
I'd like one too. I work at an airfield 40 miles away, it would be ideal! More power to his ... propeller!
If I could commute to work like that I would spend all day going to and from work.
I lived next to a train track with 3-4 trains a day using it. I did not demand the train cease operation. Looking at his engine, I cannot imagine it made the same thunder as Merlin.
Someone has to defend the area from the Chinese. Fly on Every kid you pass over might have a dream bout flying.
What annoying neighbours to have... i live next to an airfield and its no problem at all, its just nice to hear the small planes passing by from time to time
