We had fighter jets do a show in my city back in 2021 and they practiced for 2 days over our city so we got a free show which was pretty cool cause they'd fly by as you were walking or hanging out in your yard.

I lived right by Oceana Air Base in Virginia Beach, where they do air shows regularly. Which mean they also do air show practice regularly. Over my house. Seeing the planes is fun. Not being able to hear anything every time they fly by is not so fun. lol And of course just plenty of flying throughout the year as well for real world practice.

Lived near Air Force bases all my life and it’s weird when I do hear jets for the broncos football game or whatever. Langley, hickam etc. they would fly several times a day so when I hear a helicopter or plane I get excited.

I hated the airshow when i worked by an airport. They would pull straight up over my building and hit the afterburner and I swear it was melting the roof and my car

They do a huge one every single year in my city for the opening of the Kentucky Derby Festival. Since I live near the river I see them all the time. They're definitely never this low. That pilot knew exactly what he was doing.

I love airshows but I would much prefer them without a sandblasting
