As a kid I lived close to Hamilton AFB, I loved it when I had the opportunity to see a military plane fly over.

She's one sick puppy that is ruining another generation.

Ah, the sound of jets....as a child I grew up about 10 miles from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC where my Dad worked on those planes. Went to see the Blue Angels as a kid. As an adult, I served 20 years in the Navy, 10 of those years stationed on aircraft carriers (Nimitz, JFK, Ike). The sound of freedom!!!! Nothing like the sound of the catapaults coming through your berthing at 11:00 at night, or the arresting gear engine catching a plane nearby.

I live in Hampton Roads VA area, and it really tweaks my melon to hear the people complain about the noise at NAS Oceana and want to close the base, when the base was there LONG before the house and neighborhood in which they live was even conceived!!!!!

Dementra, let me quote from a Kansas song:

Can I tell you something
Got to tell you one thing
If you expect the freedom
That you say is yours
Prove that you deserve it
Help us to preserve it
Or being free will just be
Words and nothing more

I don't know where Hamilton is (we were a Navy family) but live near Robins AFB now. Under the flight path of the F-15s which shake my china cabinet and my dishes and I appreciate anyway.
