Les Goldsmith is a man who loves numbers. Hard numbers. Numbers like speeds, heights, weights, highs and lows, presence or absence, openings and closings. Numbers that can be tabulated and analyzed. Crunchy, crisp, precise numbers — not estimates or approximations for him! Exact numbers which illuminate behaviors and turn into facts. Today Goldsmith has built a company around the numbers that shape and define our local airports: take-offs, landings, hangars, based aircraft, transients, noise complaints, and more. His system and his numbers may be coming to an airport near you.
