[Not A Snowbird]

I worked at Miramar for two years after I retired from active duty and we got booted out of El Toro and Tustin. My poor husband had to work in Community Plans and Liaison, fielding noise complaints from people who were convinced our big, loud, scary machines were going to fall on their houses.

I love flying into Lindbergh, the pucker factor for the pilots must be intense. Waving at people in office buildings as we are landing and seeing them wave back (at eye level) is a bit disconcerting, isn't it?
