Also Lockheed-Martin operated there. Nothing like an F-16 screwing around over your house.

Living on base, and working mids is even worse. You’d crawl into bed after a long shift just in time to hear the damn things taking off for the first go of the day.
I grew up near Selfridge Air National Guard Base. F-4, F-16, A-10, KC-135, C-130’s flew overhead constantly. The sound of Freedom.
I now live near Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. Lots of helicopters overhead.
The Post has a very large airstrip but we rarely see airplanes. The flight path isn’t near us. I’ve heard they do a lot of training flights with AF1 there but haven’t ever seen that.
