One of the things that we like about where we live is that we are quite near the local municipal airport and reasonably close to the international airport...
There's usually a small private airplane somewhere in the vicinity either sightseeing along the coast or arriving or departing from the local airport.
Every now and then, we get to see (and hear) military jets passing overhead.
Depending on the wind, sometimes we are near the approach for the commercial jets, although the flight path is far enough away that we don't tend to hear them.
We also apparently live close to a high altitude airway, so we see jets traversing overhead either by their contrails during the day, or navigation lights at night.
Both of us like planes, so we get a kick out of being able to see so many from the comfort of our home.
Today, we had a surprise visitor. I guess we were just lucky that Jeanie happened to be out in the back yard and noticed it, as it wasn't making any noise that we could hear.

Cool, huh?
