I grew up around the "K" streets and 52nd. Planes would literally come in and take off right over the house. My parents still live there. Can't tell you how many phone conversations were interupted by a "hold...there's a plane!" LOL.
Plane come in behind my house. They are far enough back that they aren't loud but it's a nice view esp when air shows going on. There is this one huge military plane that goes out every few months. I guess they do landings and take off because it's all day when it's flying. It's been so low I can see rivets. It scared me bad the first time I saw it. How anything that big stays up...anyway the plane looks like it struggles to me and I thought the first time I saw it, that the plane was crashing.
