I honestly get nervous when I'm visiting somewhere and can't see some kind of military aircraft in the sky at all times, because I've gotten used to it living here (Norfolk). When the carriers come in, there's usually a pair of helos scanning every small boat within a mile, and you'd better believe they're ready to act if anything looks suspicious.

I live next to Langley's flight path. So I know what you mean. We are so used to hearing the planes that when they don't fly you notice.

In 79 & 80 I lived on the other end of Oceanview up close to the curve. Actually I lived across from what was a Best Western Motel around 17th View? I went back a couple of years ago and that end of Oceanview was gone but the apartment building I lived in was oddly enough still there. It looked like every apartment complex including the ones up on the point at the curve were bull dozed down. It looked like a ghost town from what it once was. I even remember the old amusement park across from what was the Oceanview Greyhound bus depot and Western Union Office :>}
