I think a lot of the planes up in the air are rentals.
Also could have been power/gas/etc checking on their lines. Or DEA looking for pot. I don't live far off from the flight path to PDK (2nd busiest airport behind hartsfield-jackson-(insert politician name)-atlanta airport) and the jet noise doesn't even bother me. Only plane I really hear is a biplane that I see so much I memorized the tail number. Also a WW2 B-17 bomber that sounds so damn sexy whenever it flies to PDK about once or twice a year. It is a loud beast that must have been horrifying back in WW2 with 1000s of them coming down on you. Sounds sexy to me.

Guessing a cul de sac doesn't count as a congested area, so 500 feet above ground is the minimum. That said, a plane can be above 500 feet and still look pretty low. After reading it again, it might have been a student (or instructor with student) picking a bad place to practice an engine out simulation. |

So planes flying low crash harder and more dangerously than planes flying high?
