So true! When I was in flight school in Beeville TX our apartment was in the flight path of the base, and the C-5's used to come down to shoot GCA approaches (Navy bases had them, I think AFB's didn't). They flew directly over our apartment at a couple hundred feet altitude, with everything hanging out - landing gear, full flaps, and they looked like they were flying at 10 knots...it was like a total eclipse when they flew over -- cool as hell....
