All those millions of dollars for each of our fighter aircraft and I'll never get over how remarkably uncomfortable those seats always look.

F-22's come through Buckley periodically. We also have a lot of F-15's, 16's, and 18's come through. All the -14's are gone, not even to the boneyard. The Navy stripped them and cut them up to prevent the Iranians from ever getting any parts from them. A lot of the noise is probably our own F-16's. Depending on the day, sometimes we put up a bunch of them.

I love going out to Jewell and 470 and watching them takeoff and land on the runway nearby....
They are always flying low and slow over Aurora Gun Club. I think they are coming in to land when they fly directly over the top of the range.
On a little different note, my wife's parents live very close to the South Site and a couple times per month there is some sort of military exercise going on over their house at night. Lots of Helicopters coming in and circling directly above the sub-division for hours. Anyone have a clue what that might be? We visit sometimes and I love to watch and listen to it but it's a pain in the ass when I am trying to get my baby to sleep and all the damn windows are rattling and the paintings are shaking on the wall for an hour...
They truly are circling DIRECTLY above all the houses...makes me wonder what kind of training they are doing above a rural residential area...

Training...hahaha, those are the black helicopters circling over your house. They're coming for your guns and your extreme ideology. Where's your tinfoil hat?![]()
Yesterday, one F16, west bound over downtown, in a hurry, but obviously not under full power, happens every few days, sometimes more than one.
Love it. Great sound and thoughts of freedom!
