I get to hear the same "sound of Freedom" almost daily/nightly here where I live also..... from the island I live on here, when I look across the water - west of me at Whidbey Island, I get to see the Navy jets training while they are in port - in between their ship travels = was Army myself, but I still 'Love' that sound and along with a few nites a week, I also get to look out the front window of my house when they are doing their night-time touch&goes watching their 'lites' drop out of sight below the tree line, than come back into view as they lift back up - many a time, they will loop back around over my island on some of their return runs. The entrance to the Navy base on Whidbey Island has a sign posted something to the words of "We apologize for the 'sound of Freedom' we make" My neighbor maybe heading your way sometime soon, being she is on-call with the management part of dealing with these fires, she is with the National Park/Forest Services and gets called out for them many times a year. A few days ago, she was notified for call up - to be ready to go for one in New Mexico (and yes, she was Army also along with her husband(retired 3yArmy-17yAir Force) when we - the 3 of us - meet in Germany over 45+ years ago when we were stationed together on the East German border during the Cold War working for NSA.) Take care ........hope things there get worked out safety there...........
