Sunday, July 12, 2009 log/"sample"

While Sunday, July 5, and Monday, July 6, 2009, brought much more plane-noise overhead, I was too tied up with other matters to be able to log those numerous overhead flights. This "sample" from a non-holiday Sunday is typical.

"J" denotes jet, "sm" denotes a medium or small plane, not a large jet. "NE" means the plane was seen heading Northeast, "S" means South, and likewise for other headings. "dns" means I did not see the plane, which sounded as though it was hidden behind trees, but am very certain I did hear a plane and not the echo of some loud ground-vehicle. If a question-mark appears after the heading, it means I'm pretty sure that's where I heard a plane heading, but did not see it.

Weather: There was a bit of haze overhead but as the hour wore on sky cleared.
