I wouldn't worry ariddell, it's a great area. This is a tragic accident that could happen anywhere - an isolated event. Having lived in the area for years I don't even notice the noise now - bit like living near a train line!.

As sad as this accident was, it really is not as bad as the many car accidents we see daily, and seem to be conditioned to . I heard the head of CASA say that flying at Moorabbin is still safer than driving on Nepean Hwy - I can personally vouch for that

Anyway, welcome neighbour - If you see a Red D90 around it's probably me - don't forget to wave

Heard the Concorde depart Sydney in the 80's, THAT WAS LOUD TOO

Heard on the radio that the pilot should be commended 4 his actions in avoiding the primary school nearby. On his 1st solo flight having a mid air collision & being sent into a spiral, I kinda doubt he really knew there was a primary school in the vicinity. Poor bugger.
I live within a k of this airport & its never been an inconvienience & I certainly would`nt consider my or my families safety a factor, I feel it was just a sad unfortunate accident!
