I lived directly under a flight path very near to Boston Logan Airport. Never had anyone fall out of the sky, but there were some days the planes were landing so low I thought their landing gear was going to nick the roof of the house.Faithfree wrote:The chance of being hit by one seems pretty low, though somewhat increased if you spend much time beneath the approaches to international airports.
