Lived in New Hampshire when Pease AFB was still in service - F-111s and KC-135Q tankers for support. The condo complex is still there - within 100 feet of centerline for runway 15 for takeoffs / landings. The sound of a fully loaded 135Q water-augmenting their exhaust on takeoff is rather like someone is reaching up into the sky and tearing ALL the cloth it's made of. Memorable :)
Then there was the sight of the C-5A supply flights coming in, directly over the roof... easy to make out the tread on the nosewheel, and every detail of the fuselage. Wingtips out at about a 120-130 degree angle, looking up... will never forget that sight.
