At Maxwell AFB we used to ride our bikes out to the end of the runway area. It was used as a storage area for construction projects so they had piles of dirt and broken concrete. We could sneak up real close to the end of the runway and watch as the planes landed or took off depending on wind conditions. Watching a C-130 touchdown just a few yards away as cool. It was always strange to see a B-52 come in almost sideways with the wheels rotated for landing. They would pass over our heads and it seemed like it was just feet away but I am sure it was higher.
