I work at Patuxent River Naval Air Station. My work is regularly interrupted by the sound of jets flying overhead. I am never bothered by it, and I usually stop to listen. When I am outside, I always look up to see if I can spot the plane.
It's the sound of freedom. I never get tired of it.

We're near an air base too. I never tire of hearing the military aircraft flying overhead, especially now.

jeff dean....one of those rare journalists these days! (the others are 'urinalists' and wouldn't give a military person the time of day).
on a motorcycle web site the other day a guy posted pics of a B-52 that made a bunch of passes right over his house. he said the windows shook and the pics were amazing. this was in arkansas.

we got buzzed by two fighter jets in death valley (appropiate place) and it scared the crap out of us, while at the same time was awesome as hell!!

I attended a funeral for a relative a week after the 11th in Ft. Worth. He was a B-17 pilot with 70+ missions over Germany!! (After 25 you could go home, or something like that, but he stayed anyway.)
Anyway, I stepped outside and noticed an F-14 (or 15...I dunno if Carswell is still and AFB...whatever) but he kept circling the area low with his wings locked forward in sub-sonic config. He was probably practicing, but you KNOW that early in this debacle, he would have had to been on a personal High Alert just because.
Anyway, the thought of that young pilot flying his advanced fighter "over" the old bomber driver, protecting those who had protected us before, well, it didn't matter if I misted a little....nobody could tell.

For the B1 crew that went down in the Indian Ocean today. We're all standing on the docks for you.
