I live under a military training route in the middle of no-where, and all sorts of planes fly over, usually at around 500' AGL, sometimes even lower. We've had A-10s, F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, F-14s, EA6bs, KC130s, P3s, C-17s, B1bs, harriers, and a variety of trainers. My main hobby now is taking pictures of them. These guys usually only fly during the daytime, so at least they don't wake us up, but it really gets your attention when a flight of several F-15s flys over at 500', 500kts. You don't hear them at all until they are right on you, and then ROAR! :-)
