I grew up in a home that was directly under the base leg for the commercial aircraft. Went from turboprops to jet engines.

Spent most of the rest of my life on Air Force bases. With 24 hour ops and the jet engine test facility there was almost always noise. I loved it.

I now live under part of the training area for fighters and choppers at Quantico MCB. Not as frequent but I can almost get my fix now and then.

It startles you at first, but it’s amazing how quickly you get used to it.

Then, it startles you when it’s quiet. Test Cell was the $hit !!
