Ron, Yes! Fortunately I never had the pleasure of hearing that sound under those conditions but I agree..the sound of a dust off coming in to take you out must have been sweet indeed.

To add to Ron's post we often have aircraft of all types scream through here at treetop level and well below us! We live on a pretty severe mountain and often we look down on them! If they are just right you can see the pilots looking around. You have to be outside when they go over because it's just seconds and they are gone! Apparently we are on a favorite path for them to fly along our mountain range. We call it the sound of freedom.

Where we live in Yuma AZ the sound of jets is almost a constant with the gunnery range just a few miles away and the Marine Corps Air Station in downtown Yuma.
