I lived a mile from the runway by an AFB that had B1-Bs.

Grand Forks?

I got to spend seven years there and was there for both the B-52s and the B-1Bs. Flight ops 24/7 most of the time and the Engine Test Facility running day and night. Most of the time you could smell the burning JP4 anywhere on base, including base housing. I loved it.

I got stationed here in DC and live in Virginia. It took at least three years to get used to no engine noise and smell. Except for my DC tour I was in SAC so I had the sounds and smells most of my life. I still miss it to this day.
