Hah! A wikipedia mention of it. That's funny. I just lived it, didn't know it was a "thing" to be posted anywhere.

I seem to remember it had more to do with noise levels taking off at night--the article says it was a weight issue that he was violating. I used to live VERY close to the airport, heard and saw someone's jet (looked like a Lear to me at the time) and I used to know people that talked to each other placing the blame on Ellison, and it was believable given the way he carried himself. Can't say I'd want to post it on Wikipedia as if it was something I could cite with relevant articles or pictures (wish I had taken some), but I can at least attest to a repeated incident that people kept telling me were Ellison. I personally believe, to this day, that it was probably him.

Edit: Also, just to make it clear, it didn't bother me so much. I tended to be a night owl and up all night most of the time anyway, but it did wake me up a few rare times. More amusing than annoying in my case, but I remember locals not feeling so amicable. But, I guess I did find some relevant articles that might agree with what I remember:

I wish I could search the San Jose Mercury News for it, but they don't go as far back as the years I'd lived there. Aw well.
