you know, usually jets constantly flying over your house lowers the value and makes the occupants grumpy. But not for Dave, for him it's just a big, private airshow.

 

Now, if everybody here mails one dollar to him, we'll have some really nice pics. Just make sure you send it in pennes. One at a time.

Use to work at WPAFB and it's the best place to see the USAF best coming and going.I was there during the 90's and hated that our contract was done.1st place I ever laid eyes on the F-117 and also saw A-10 on display.Lots of old and new for all who are into military aviation as is most my family is.

It would cost more to send them one at a time, than the money we are actually sending.

 

Got a better idea, buy a video camera and a motion detector, put it on your roof and whenever a jet comes by it tracks and zooms on the jet.

bleh, need audio.

 

Back in Mississippie, I saw a bumpper ssticker saying Jet Noise Sound Of Freedom. I loved that. And its truly the greatest sound made. As long as it don't rattle the windows, jets put me to sleep. Trains too. Great stuff.

I grew up on SAC/ACC bomber bases, more often than not near the approach, at Loring the housing wasn't near the flight line thankfully, but Minot and Ellsworth were a bit different. It gets pretty old when 3 ships of B-52s are doing touch and goes all night, or when there is a nuclear mission generation execrsise and the entire 23rd Bomb Squadron is sitting on the flight line with live AGM-129s and your friends from school you have to work on a project with aren't allowed on base (circa 1993.) The arguments I had when I was about 9 with kids who's dad's job was to fire Minuteman missiles about who's dad could kill more Russinas were pretty entertaining looking back.
