yeah i live under the flightpath of a lot of flight school traffic and this weighs a bit on my mind. pretty busy flight area too. Who knows the damage really? are there tests you can take?

Yes, you can get a blood test done that measures lead level. I asked my doctor for the test and got it done. Covered by insurance.

If it is larger jet planes, you're mostly safe. Those burn lots of fuel, but it is "jet fuel" which is more like kerosene or diesel.

yeah the area overhead is very literally a training path where they do a lot of circling stuff in small planes. they do have a decent amount of jets flying very high though.
