When I was a young man growing up in L.A., a fave pass-time was piling into my '63 Chevy and we'd park smack up against the Eastern-most fence at LAX's primary landing runway (don't know if this is still possible?). We'd lay on our backs on the car hood and top, with our heads pointing East so ya couldn't see the jet coming. Then ... BWOOOOOSSSSHH, the big bastards would sneak up on ya and nearly shake us off the car! It was great 'cause you barely heard anything until it was straight over your head, sounding like ten-thousand Banshees in heat. I had a total deja vu reading your experience Sub ... thanks a million for the revisit. I know exactly what you felt!
