B-1 bombers used to make very low passes over my in-laws' house in central KS. They live near a small town on 40 acres, their house is on the top of a hill and very visible from the air. Typically at least two at a time, sometimes several times per day. I had the opportunity to speak with a B-1 pilot at the McConnell AFB air show, who knew exactly which house I was referring to. Seems the pilots used their house as a visual navigation point and an occasional simulated bombing target.

Multiple B-1s at low altitude and high speed are LOUD.
