For Heidi... Answer About The Jets

Started putting this in comments but then realized that it was getting kind of long so I figured I'd make a new post.
Yes, I can hear the fighters almost every day they are taking off for training or something. They get airborne about a block and a half (maybe 500 meters) from my office building, it's pretty cool. When there are airshows, they have to close certain roads on base for safety. Which leads me to the other cool thing about where I live... My house is just accross a small river mouth from the base. When there are air shows here, I can sit in my backyard to watch. I get a better view and less traffic. Also, for most tricks or whatever they are going to do they fly right over my house, usually pretty low.
It's awesome. It'll be the biggest thing I miss about living here if we ever move.

Sweet! I'm putting you on my list of SS friends to visit :D When's the airshow again? ;)
~Heidi...who has been known to sit on top of her roof in order to see the airshow...

It's in May and it's usually about the same time each year.
You are more than welcome any time!

For sure you are on the list. And hey the first Richmond race is in May too - same weekend as a matter of fact.

I just saw that... I don't think that would work.. but is there a second race this year?

Yes, sometime in September. I think it's the second weekend but I'm not sure of the actual date.
