If you call the CO of the base and explain that you heard airplanes, then the Navy will make sure that they take the long way home in order to avoid disturbing you.
I keep my tinfoil hat adjusted carefully to avoid problems like that.
It has been a few years ago but I was going over the bridge and one of those "Tomcats" was coming in for a landing I guess at the very top of the bridge all at the same time. I thought I was going to have to go change my pants. Fricking loud was not the word
I paced a met 2 Blue Angels right overhead. Close enough to see their face. It was way cool!
13 years sea time out of 20, all carriers, I must have been crazy back then. Longest time at sea was 109 days straight, some sort of exercise.

Thats how them b*tch's R
What carriers were you on, if I may ask?
Forrestal, Kennedy, Enterprise.
I got off Ike prior to 1980 when they had to go over for the Iran CRISIS, they spent something like 280+ dasy at sea ;-((( Getting letters from the guys, i just laughed and said Sorry. What else could you do !!!!

The Forrest Fire! My Dad was on that ship a long time, including when it caught fire.
Wow, that is one video to never forget of lessons learned.
Dam, that put my little 109 days at sea to shame.
Hahaha.... He is not the first cry baby I have heard complain about the noise from the base. It kinda makes me wonder what kind of place this Asshat is moving here from.
He probably just got a job at Calvert Cliffs Nuke plant and he is sweating some sound of freedom (jet noise).
Not a cry baby, not an Asshat, not a he, not working at CCN, not sweating. Try again dickwad. If you are representative of the average Lusbian, perhaps I should look elsewhere. You know, where people have a functioning IQ.
FYI, yes I realize there is a base in Lex Park. Looked at a few houses over there and a jet flew over. Not that I was going to buy that crap hole house in that crap hole neighborhood, but definitely took notice of the jet noise. Did not realize it would be the same in Calvert, not having time to go inspect which direction the jets take off and which direction the wind blows. The day I first looked at the house in Lusby, there was not that amount of jet noise. The day of the inspection, Wednesday, the 13th, was awful. I really had no idea. I can't imagine all those people, with those beautiful bay front homes and the peace and quiet, living with that noise. Thus my question, is that usual, or not. When I came home that night and was sitting in my private, serene, perfectly quiet backyard, where the deer and the wild turkey play, I realized I could not deal with that noise.
FYI, I lived about 5 miles from the Pentagon and a bit farther from National Airport for 15 years and aside from the occasional helicopter, air traffic noise was not an issue, except on 9/11 when the fighter jets flew overhead and rattled the windows.

Hats off to those of you who gave me a real answer. I guess everyones tolerance for things is different and I won't know until I get there, but do I want to take that chance? Only I can decide that.

Depends, stuff gets dropped out over water so when planes are practicing drops or actively dropping stuff they are going to be flying quite a bit out over the water.
It is no where near an operational base where you have planes landing almost like clockwork, it just depends on what the testing of the day involves, how much of that testing is needed etc.
I really doubt the noise continued for much more than a couple hrs a day, most of the time the plane or planes are probably just passing by your area once or twice.
If you look at google maps you can see the runways on the base and they are almost equal distant from Lusby as they are from Lexington Park, that big open area over the water does way less to dampen the noise than the trees on the land between them and Lexington Park.

It didn't occur to me when I first moved here that living near a Navy base meant frequent jet noise and I remember being like, "Wow, is this going to happen all the time??" Then after a few weeks I didn't hear it anymore.
It didn't occur to you and you are
Who is the STUPID ONE HERE????

I grew up most of my life hearing P- 3's, both at Pax river and San Jose. Cry babies need to find a quite room to cry in.
