What sucks is that it'll stay that way until a 737, 757 or an A319 stalls while doing the noise abatement takeoff, the pilots can't recover and the goddamn plane crashes into Upper Newport Bay before the FAA finally grows the balls necessary to tell the privileged citizens of Newport Beach that for safety's sake, that takeoff pattern is dangerous.
