Having grown up literally across the street from North Fort
Lewis, and having McChord AFB almost as close (and being an AF
family, so going on base fairly regularly), military noise in
general becomes background noise really quickly; even the planes
don't bother me.

But there are exceptions.

A friend of mine was living in the flight path for McChord, when
one day, out in his yard, he looked up as a C-130 flew overhead,
coming in for a landing.  He watched it land, then walked inside
and called the flightline.

"Did you know," he told the Sgt. in charge, "that the tires on a
C-130 have to be inflated to 145psi?"

"Well... no," said the Sgt. "Why?"

"Because one just flew over my house and I read that on the
tire."

Nobody flew *quite* that low again.
