Buckley Air Force Base - Jets Overhead

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with House to Home, Inc. - Denver Real Estate - 720-231-6373 DRE# ER40011786

Living in Southeast Aurora, you do get a bit of air traffic now and again.   Both from Denver International Airport, as well as Buckley Air Force Base.    

It is common on a Saturday, to hear jets flying overhead and fairly low.   They fly low, then turn up, and turn around back to the base.  Sometimes there is only one, sometimes you will see three in a formation.  Pretty darned cool!

I have a friend that is rather hard of hearing, but they hear these jets.    I always say, then just say --- thanks for keeping me safe!

Good morning Joan. The noise from jets was prevalent in downtown Chicago, Now in exurbia the sound of jets not so much. And, the sounds of sirens and cars with super sized stereos also have dwindled. Enjoy your day.

Good morning, Joan... after hearing the night time flights all night long in Abu Dhabi when we were in the first Gulf War... I'm happy not to hear military jets.

Hello Joan - "sound" can impact real estate as well as everyday life.  Individually or when combined with senses of many different sorts can make a difference.

Nina Hollander, Broker at least these jets don't mean we are at war, at least here in Aurora.

Joan Cox for sure, Joan. When I hear them now it takes me back to living in Abu Dhabi when the war broke out. I can still hear that noise of jets taking off and landing throughout the night into the early morning hours.

Michael, you are correct, these noises do affect some buyers' choices when house hunting.

We have a Space Force Base a couple of miles from my house. The air force still used the runways. Some top secret planes are tested there. It is so cool to watch.

I have to admit I rarely hear any jets over where I live. I listened to my share when I was married to my ex and he was a jet flight instructor.

Thanks for sharing this glimpse into life near Buckley Air Force Base, Joan Cox. I love how you add a touch of humor and appreciation for those jets—it's a reminder of the unique sounds and sights that make a neighborhood special. Appreciate you sharing your perspective! 😊

Hi Joan- when we lived in Delray Beach which is 20 minutes south of Mar-a-Lago we heard the fighters that were scrambled when civilian planes were too close. It was amazingly loud!

There use to be a Naval Air Base - Moffett Field - in the South Bay Area south of San Francisco. There were frequent flybys of jets and other aircraft. It has long ago been converted to commercial and civilian use.
