I work about ~2 miles from an military base and jets are constantly taking off and landing. Its nice to stand at the window and gawk at the jets and the weapons hanging off of their wings! no :camera: sorry

1) Get a 4 foot piece of drain tube (about 5 inch diameter), stand near the begining of the runway, rest it on your shoulder and point it at the aircraft as they land.

2) Tell us what happens (with pics/video)

3) Profit...

ahh memories.. Living on clark air base there was a bike path off the end of the runway. I remember riding by a getting a whoosh of hot air when the f-4 phantoms came in for landings. Pretty awesome. At the time the f4's were being phased out for f-16's.

Actually I don't believe that's the case. It's normally illegal to take pictures of the flightline from INSIDE a base without the authorization of the Installation Commander, but there's no prohibition on taking pictures from outside the fence.
 
I work on an army base right next to an AFB, the AF demonstration team, the thunderbirds, are coming out this weekend. Its gonna be hella noisy. w00t!
