Do you live anywhere near the flight path of an airport or major military base

Do you live anywhere near the flight path of an airport or major military base?
We live in San Antonio, which still has 5 active military bases (used to have 7) and man, when those C-5's (cargo planes) fly over the house (they fly slow and low), you'd think the windows were going to rattle out of the casings.......funny thing is, I can sleep through it without waking up! lol

I live on an army post and yes those things are loud, but the artillary fire can be just as earth shattering when the soldiers are out in the field. Sometimes when they're firing those things off in succession I imagine it's Optimus Prime walking towards post. Cool.

Yes.... I live less than 1/2 Mile from a rural airport. On weekends we see planes dragging gliders up for their pleasure rides. At night we hear helicopters flying about 70 feet above our roof. If we sun in the backyard, I guarantee we will see many low flying planes...

I live near a field where Med/Vac helicopter lands. Now with the summer hours and parties we see them landing almost everyday because of an accident in nearby interstate. Also less than 5 miles of med. airport.

You go to whatever website you want to order the ticket from(try Southwest Airlines, they can be really cheap), choose what you want and follow the steps on the screen. You'll need a credit card or maybe PayPal to buy. Once you've finished it all, you usually get an email with your "e-ticket" in it. You print that out and take it to the airport with you. You show them that and your picture ID, and they take it from there. Remember that the name on your ticket has to match that on your ID exactly. If your ID says John Q. Smith, order the ticket in that name. You almost don't even need the e-ticket these days because the airline can find all your info once you present your ID, but I always take a copy with me just in case. Read all th fine print on the website since you're new to this.

What's the furthest you've traveled for lunch

What's the furthest you've traveled for lunch?
I'm thinking of flying to Dallas from San Antonio to have lunch. Nothing special. Just need a few extra miles to reach a free flight. I've heard of people driving 3 hours for a good bowl of chili.
