Not to stray off topic it, but if you live next to an airport or military base loud noises are going to be common and to complain is pointless. Yes I know people are not rational when it comes to things.
That's the problem with NAS Oceana. The air station has been there since approximately WW2, and used to be surrounded by miles of country fields. Now as VA Beach has grown, development has encroached on places that it was actually promised wouldn't be developed, right up to the base. The base was there first, and is a major contributor to the local economy, yet the local residents who weren't invited to move in, have the nerve to complain about it. The Navy's attitude is simple: "We were here first, and we're the reason you're free to complain, so screw you." As it should be.
But that's VA Beach for you. The modern city was founded by bourgeois white flighters from Norfolk, which incidentally was one of the last major cities in the USA to desegregate schools. They fought on the wrong side of history as long as they could, then ran to their own fake city full of scared white yuppies. I'd actually support global climate change and rising sea levels if it would only wipe VA Beach off the map. Bah.
