Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
I got my commercial at Langley AFB and there was something I noticed there. The locals, Ferds F-15s, were relatively quiet. If there was a noise abatement procedure they must have followed it.
It was the out of towners, B-1 on rare occasion, F-16s, sometimes even F-18s, that just lit it up.

I still think one of my favorite airplane memories was driving my pure awesomeness Ford Ranger over at Navy Norfolk and coming to a stop at a red light that I didn't realize was an active taxiway. So I'm just sitting there and then all of a sudden this E-2... I mean KC-135... comes rolling past me at a high speed while folding it's wings.
To a kid that was easily impressed by just about anything, especially shinny lights and objects and just about any girl within reason, that was really cool.

And I knew it was a KC-135 because it was very different from a C-141. See the difference?

Yes. I think that's an F-14. I heard a guy who was trying to pick some girl up say he used to fly them in the Air Force. He then pulled out a picture of one -- looked like it was torn out of a magazine -- and it looked just like that.
