This airport is only a mile from our house, so we get to hear the beautiful sounds of a Pratt 2800 thundering overhead weekly. I always loved big radials, can't get enough of their sloppy idle.

In back of my house is a small regional airport. Most of the time I hate it because of the noise, but at times I love it. Last week in San Francisco was fleet week and a large part of the show (besides the Blue Angeles) was vintage war planes. They always use my little airport as a staging and practice area for the show so I get to watch and listen to all of them buzzing my house for a couple weeks every year. The P51's in particular makes the pictures on the walls rattle as they make a low pass. Until a few years ago we had an annual military show with modern jets and they would have very low fly-by's with C5A's and B52's. Talk about loud. eidolonFIRE, TheLastColdBeer and google 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Usually higher ranking officers that come for a weekend of golf while they also visit the facilities in the area. When they leave they dont quite go over my house, maybe a mile or so away, but once they are over the ocean they love to pour on the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
