>>That made me recall the loudest noise I ever heard. Probably in 1961 or 62, I was working for Martin installing Titan I ICBM's in their silo's in eastern Washington at Moses Lake.<<
Ha! I was born in Moses Lake in 1954. I lived in "Basin Homes" right under the flight path at the southern end of the runway. I remember the silver and white B-52's in the early days and then in the mid-60's they were the green top and black bottom for Vietnam service. As a kid I loved watching them take off and land. I'll never forget it.
They are still my favorite plane. Well, almost. The A-10 slightly edges them out.
The sound of Freedom! Once you've heard multiple 52's on a
takeoff roll all at once....there is no sound to compare.
You were at the southern end of the runway...wasn't
that the usual "liftoff" end....man what a sight that
must have been.
