I have been in the same house in Broad Channel for over 40 years and in the past 2 weeks the planes have been coming almost directly over my house. Today I went outside and looked at what has been happening and found it strange.
I don't know what the frequency of takeoffs is suppose to be but it seems to me that planes are taking off more often and closer together but after takeoff they are going in 3 or 4 different routes. Todays planes took off over 31L (I think that is right runway) and going out over Howard Beach. First plane makes a hard left and comes over the middle of Broad Channel heading right back towards the JFK control tower. It seems like 30 seconds later the same thing except the plane takes a wider route and the 3rd goes out over the ocean.
At first I thought these planes were coming into land on 22R(I Think) but the planes are going up and not coming down. Today when I saw it I think it was about 215 pm.
I have to walk down the end of my block and watch these planes bank so hard since I can see the end of the runway from there.
