I spent 4 years in the Air Force & don't miss those noisy F-16s, especially when they taxi. The shrill scream is maddening. What I could never get my fill of was C-5s. Watching them take off & land seems like a contradiction of physics. Especially to witness one landing in a heavy sidewind, & watching the landing gear make compensations for the proper approach. Although it is not pleasant to get caught in the hurricane force of their jet wash, I marvel that such a monster can leave the ground.
