Background
Tom, a freelance photographer and self-proclaimed nature lover, decided to leave the city behind and embrace quieter living in Solana Beach, San Diego, CA. He found what seemed like the perfect property—nestled in a quiet valley with views of green fields. The setting was idyllic.

The problem
But shortly after moving in, Tom’s peace was shattered—literally. On what felt like a random weekday, two low-flying military aircraft screamed overhead. Then another. And another. What followed was a pattern: unpredictable but thunderous military training flights.

These weren't daily or even weekly, but when they happened, the noise was deafening and frightening- rattling windows, startling pets, and making phone calls impossible.

Investigation and insight
Tom reached out to local residents and was told, “Oh yes, we get the USAF coming through. You get used to it.” But for Tom, this wasn’t acceptable. As someone who worked from home and frequently held Zoom client sessions, he needed predictability and quiet.

He began researching flight tracking data and eventually found My Flight Path. He decided to use the service - not just out of curiosity, but to prevent the same mistake when choosing a new property.

Using the Flight Blight Report
The Flight Blight Report for his new dream property, a house just 12 miles away, came back clean, with a score of just 91. The data showed minimal overflight activity, and no proximity to known military corridors.

Conclusion
Tom successfully relocated again, this time with confidence. He now recommends the service to fellow rural buyers.
