I heard overhead plane noise on Sunday, but wondered if was occasional or a regular flight path. I am hoping to live in a quiet semi-rural place specifically (yes, I know there are leaf blowers and dogs to think about too!). Thank you!
First, congratulations on moving to a very beautiful picturesque part of the world. Both towns are lovely and not in any direct flight path. Danbury airport is for small private planes and approaches are not over Wilton or New Canaan.
