They have also complained of continuing noise overhead from all the flights at the airport, though that’s a problem that changing to unleaded fuel won’t mitigate.“The majority of flight schools can switch to the 94UL,” airport director Paul Anslow said Wednesday, as airplanes buzzed the skies above the...
