As that's I did I'm Nate Hegey here today with producer Justine Verdez. Hey, hey

So I grew up on the island of Nantucket, which is off the coast of Massachusetts. Yep, very famous island

I know the juice. Yeah, Nantucket Nectors. That's my main knowledge of Nantucket is the juice. Yeah, very delicious

For most of my life my family and I live less than a mile from the island's only airport

Which by the way the co-letters for that airport are a C.K.

Act which leads to all kinds of egregious puns like throughout the island which are just this relentless source of suffering for me

Like can't wait to be back on island. Like let's do some activities. None of them are good

So are there t-shirts that say that there are definitely t-shirts?

This is my call to cease and desist though like we just need to stop

But anyway, anybody who lives near an airport knows that sometimes the sound can be so invasive

But also if the wind blew from a certain direction the smell of jet fuel. Hmm. What does that smell like by the way?

It's like a gasoline, but like with a like an oomph to it, which is kind of a jet fuel is anyway, you know

Yeah, it's overpowering gasoline smell. Okay. I've got everyone we get ahead egg

And in Tuckets Airport is busy. It's actually the second busiest airport in the state after Logan and Boston

Wow, it literally ran out of jet fuel a couple times this summer really because it was so busy

But despite how busy the airport is in a way they have a big issue

So we are literally overlooking the tarmac

We are it's hard to get away from it

So that's the airport manager his name's Noah Carberg and Noah said that the way that people are flying has changed a ton

Locals used to take 15 minute flights on these tiny planes back to the mainland all the time back and forth

Right, but now there's a shortage of pilots

So what makes sense in the aviation industry is to fly fewer routes on bigger aircraft you can do it with the same number of pilots
