Ok. I should have added minus the noise. I was only on the flight line for embark/debark so the smell never bothered me but the was heard for miles.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I loved the noise and smells of SAC and the fight for freedom.

When I left my last SAC base and came to the DC area it took me a long time to adjust to the lack of noise and the great smell from the flightline. I still miss it to this day. Even my wife had trouble getting to sleep without that noise and she even admitted to loving the smell of burning jet fuel.
