I know there is no sound more comforting in the middle of my back swing than the unexpected roar of jet blast every 3 minutes 
Not that it would ever happen, but I'd like to see them go back to 'Toga after the fall Belmont meet up until they shut down for the holidays, then stay dark until Belmont opens again in the Spring. The winter racing at Aqueduct has been laughable, that is when it isn't canceled for weather |
I guess you've never been to New York in November/December
[however i agree it would be better if they took off some time for the winter]
Additionally, there's a golf course on the other side of JFK right smack in the traditional flightplan (Lido Beach) and while it's a really nice course with some great ocean views the jets significantly detract from the experience.
