Being an aviation NUT, there were always benefits to moving to a place that is basically under 1 mile final approach for RWY 36 at YBMC. Usual A320's and 737's, C-17's and even the occasional P-51 Mustang.
Today was one of the better ones. I HEARD the first one, so I rushed out to our balcony. I SAW the second one - RAAF F/A-18 (not sure if an F or original A - but SEEMED it was an A) - he'd held it down for the length of RWY 18 at Maroochy, then pulled it up out of the dirt and opened it wide (typical gulping spool up then roar). Headed straight for Amberley at a great rate of knots and greater range of decibels
Gotta love it
