I only lived within walking distance of two airports, one of them an international airport, and the other lightweight airport flew their planes right over our house.
So I’ll pretend I don’t know anything if that makes you happy. Those of us on the ground learn the real rules when planes start crashing in your back yard…
Edit: This comment coming from someone that actually applied to refuel airplanes at the local international airport. No they didn’t hire me, they probably figured me as a corporate risk, as I had too much experience seeing planes crash, not too far behind our house.
Commercial jet liners are the safest mode of transport by a massive margin, and several orders of magnitude more safe than anything that is on a public road. If you start driving and flying at the same time, by the time you’ve encountered even a serious, much less fatal, incident in the aircraft, statistically you will have been killed dozens of times over in the car.
I won’t lie, I’ve never flown before in my life.

Don’t see you raging against buses or taxis here.
Wait, you got buses and taxis? Well fuck, after our horse died, I adopted bicycle riding and BMX flatland…
