I grew up near a navy airfield. I miss seeing those, the P3 Orions and occasional fighters and C-5a. Right over our house. I could hear them coming from far away and always looked to see what it was.
I see quite a bit of cool stuff coming into this Air Force base. It’s home to the LC-130 ski birds. I always enjoy watching them go in and out! Wish more fighters came through.
I'm currently a srudent at SCCC for their Air Traffic Control program. I got to see this very aircraft land on Rwy 22 durring a ground control lab in the tower. Pretty neat shit, the Skiers are cool as well.
When I was a kid, I lived in the flightpath for one of Detroit Metro's runways...Runway 21 right final was right over our house. It annoyed my dad to no end. I enjoyed every minute of it. I remember climbing up a tree in the middle of December 1969 to see the first 747 that ever flew into Detroit Metro airport. So I think you're a pretty lucky guy to be there.
I live a couple miles off the end of the runway for a super busy general aviation airport. Really enjoy seeing the variety of aircraft, lots of student pilots, but also good number of vintage fighters/bombers. My favorite one to hear is the stearman or B17, such great sounds!!
I don’t fly anymore myself but I enjoy knowing when a student pilot is still mastering throttle or pattern skills and remembering the thrill of learning to land on my own.
I bet you could feel it in your teefs😂 i used to have willow Grove NAS with a-10s that used to fly all the time. Never heard the brrt. But still was cool
Ugh, I lived not far from Willow Grove on Valley Road too growing up and you could hear the C130s and P3s idling from my house every day. I loved it, miss the airshows too.
Oh man. The airshows alone were why I can get enough of this sub. Seeing all the aircraft when I was like 9.
👀 <-- my eyes locked to the sky even to this day.

I lived in Charleston when the C5As were there...all day long they'd fly over my house. Amazing sight.
Timely_Helicopter161@reddit
Lived right on the flight path in North Charleston.
C-17s / C-5s with the old engines and whatever navy aircraft were stopping by that day was always cool to see/hear.

I remember there was a C-17 that looked like it was going to fly over my house on flight radar. Then it took a turn, and I didn't get to see it...
I'm still salty about it
Kotukunui@reddit
More "on approach" rather than "buzzing".
The landing gear and flaps are out. A good buzzing should be done clean and fast.
Regardless, nice video of an impressive aircraft.
Moooooooooose!

Beautiful video! My folks live in the flight path of Dover AFB and now that they’re retired I get daily plane spotting photos of C17s and C5s.

I don’t exactly live close to that base but I’m a brat and one day a c17 smoked my house so bad. I loved it.

I usually don't have my audio on but I had to turn it on to hear that C-17 rummmmble.

I miss the viewing lot to watch the planes land and take off and every so often you'd get some F18s come in

I get so giddy when those things fly overhead.
Unfortunately it's only a couple of times a year, but there is a consolation prize: they usually fly pretty low.
Plane_Doughnut_5717@reddit (OP)
Ditto! It’s usually C-130’s (which are still cool) but the C-17 is much less often, so it’s a treat
