Back in the olden days I used to get a show like that quite often in
Clinton Md when they were having an air show at Andrews. The fighters
were making a lot of their turns right over my house.
After a few of those crashes Harry is talking about they started being
a little more careful. It is scary when you think of it. The pilot may
be able to punch out but that plane is coming down somewhere.
There are not many places in suburban DC where that is not in
someone's house.


There's still a lot of touch and go training at Andrews, which is
dangerous enough, but as far as I know, no buzzing of apartment
buildings. I visit an indoor shooting range not far from the base, and
the entire building rattles every few minutes some days. If you are
wearing your shooting earmuffs, you don't hear a lot, but you can feel it.

You are just like the the idiots in Franklin Farms, at the end of the NW
-SE runway at Dulles. New home owners: "Can't something be done about
the noise?" Airport: "No, the airport has been here for 25 years before
your house was built at the end of the runway." New home owners: why is
there so much noise at 3:00 AM?" Airport: "We have a DC-10 engine test
facility. It wasn't a problem until your subdivision built about 1 year
ago."

What are you raving about? I don't live anywhere near Andrews, and
whatever happens there these days is no concern of mine. Once in a
while, if I am at a shooting range near the base, I hear an air force
plane passing over.

If you are on meds, they aren't working for you.

You ought to rest your keyboard, because as usual you are making no
sense at all. Where did you see me complain about Andrews AFB?

conversation snipped .........

I used to go to the drag races in Las Vegas twice a year. Across the street
is Nellis Air Force Base. At times, Red Flag exercises coincide with the
drags. We get a nice flyover on Sunday, and a jump in by the parachute
team. All sorts of aircraft, and some of them really hot dogging. Some
taking off and going vertical to 30,000 and leveling off. The boomerang
shaped bomber ..... man does that thing go slow. Raptors. Hercules.
Ospreys. Blackhawks. Apaches. A-10's ...... they can do 70 mph lowest
speed. AWACS, all the big planes and a lot of the little hot rods, too. We
stay in the motorhome area, and get a lot of close looks.

Don't you just sit on pins and needles, constantly worried for your
