They often piloted planes that sounded 10 times worse than Harleys without mufflers - often doing inconsiderate low level flyby's over neighbors in formations with 3 or 4 other planes, thinking that the world loved their selfish hobby.

Note I said "many", not all. I'm sure there are many responsible and considerate pilots. But I know for a fact that some are totally inconsiderate jerks. But it is sure a relief living a good distance from any active airport because, sure as the sun rises, there will be a few pilots who really don't care.
I agree with Boomer only worse.

Boy Howdy. Bet that was a story to tell once upon a time.
