Respondents own 2.8 acres near an airport in North Carolina. It has on it a dwelling house and various outbuildings which were mainly used for raising chickens. The end of the airport’s northwest-southeast runway is 2,220 feet from respondents’ barn and and house. The path of glide to this runway passes directly over the property. The use by the U.S of this airport is pursuant to a lease. Various aircraft comes close enough at times to appear barely to miss the tops of the tress and sometimes so close to the tops of the trees as to blow the old leaves off. The noise is startling, which led the respondents to give up their chicken business. As many as six to ten of their chickens were killed on day day by flying into the walls from fright. The total production fell off. Respondents are frequently deprived of their sleep and the family has become nervous and frightened.
