Does anyone else live near an air force base. I do and its awesome because we see C-130s F-15 and F-16 and Osprey, really often. We also hear the occasional muffeld BOOM! So I was just wondering does anybody else live near one?

    @EternalDarkness I'm sure there's more to it. Sure, Mikoyan and Sukhoi export some really great fighters but I have a feeling there's a robust domestic aircraft industry. I'll see what wikipedia has to say. ~Edit~ Hmmmm, it looks like Yugoslavia was a pretty heavy hitter in the aircraft world and only some of that remains today. Some beautiful fighters from the early Tito era, and some really nice turboprop light aircraft today. I guess you were right.

    @F104Deathtrap there's not much to be said. A few MiG-29s, a few obsolete attack aircraft, a few trainers...

    @EternalDarkness ~Sigh~ It was a joke based around the premise that Americans know nothing about geography or any history that doesn't pertain directly to the United States. Since you made me perform a verbal autopsy on my terrible joke, the least you could do is tell me about Serbian aircraft.

    @F104Deathtrap nope, Serbia. Since when does Canada fly Soviet/Russian planes, and planes of Serbian origin?

    @EternalDarkness Ah, so you live in Canada, eh?

    I mostly just see Blackhawks, Sea Kings, and C-17's. Blackhawks are crazy-loud, I always hear them long before I actually see them, so much for the element of surprise.
