The Quiet Skies Coalition (QSC) is comprised of citizen volunteers, based in East Hampton, NY, whose collective experience as residents neighboring the East Hampton airport compelled us to action, to reduce or eliminate the noise and air pollution this facility imposes on surrounding communities. Organized in August of 2011, QSC functions as an unincorporated association of like-minded individuals. Our leadership includes residents from the Towns of East Hampton and Southampton, the two municipalities which border the airport. Our 350 members hail from across the East End--on North and South forks, Shelter Island and, increasingly, from Long Island communities even farther afield. We are committed to regaining control of what was once a small, rural airport supporting local recreational pilots. The increased number of flights to East Hampton Airport, particularly those of helicopters, sea planes and jets, disrupts and disturbs the peaceful enjoyment of our homes, properties and recreational areas and damages our protected natural habitats. These conditions are intolerable and corrode the quality of life and commitment to the environmental preservation that defines the East End of Long Island, and particularly the Towns of East Hampton and Southampton. |
