Seems to be a fair bit of resistance to the Red Arrows training in Cyprus. ::)

"This is not just a family case, this is a humanitarian  issue. The   safety of the entire city is at stake"

Now that has to be one of the stupidest statements I have ever heard.

Quote

The Costaki family has temporarily moved to Athens where  Alexandros is   being treated for the pain caused by the Red Arrows.

Are they going to ask for a restriction in commerical flights overflying Athens, no doubt they cause the same pain.

Absolutley crazy story isn`t ?
 
I do feel sorry for the kid a bit,but could his parents not buy him earplugs!
 
The Cypriots seem to forget that if it weren`t for the British,Cyprus would be part of Turkey.

Sorry but the parents are idiots my son has autisium and he also has a hearing issue that's why he wears earplugs when we go to the airshow at portrush. it is crazy that they wouldn't give him the ear protection knowing that they have jet engines and that they make a great noise so parents idiots. :rant:
