I gotta agree with an earlier comment - it's almost eerie to never see a plane flying low over Edmonton. You just get used to it in most cities. That being said, it's a bit of a plus in my books. I enjoy planes but in a busy city the noise can get very irritating after a while. It's why I couldn't stand living in Calgary's NE. We're below a flight path where I am but the planes are relatively high, and it still bothers me some days.
Living over the approach for 16/34 in Edmonton has gotten a lot more quiet lately, as they've now shut down this runway, as phase 1 to total airport closure. At times, I can see planes flying over the southside, turning into the approach for the EDMONTON International airport.
