Years ago, I worked in downtown Vancouver, roughly seven miles from the PDX Air National Guard base as the F-15 Eagle flies. Every day, at 8:45 am and 12:45 pm, when the jets took off for another sortie, everyone for at least 15 miles around heard the noise.

You're right, this guy isn't telling anyone anything they didn't already know. I'm sure the noise next to the airport is incredible every time the Air National Guard jets take off, but most of us aren't stupid enough to live next to an Air National Guard base expecting anything else.
