In the spring of 2001 I was living in Richmond, Virginia, at the Laurel Pines Apartment complex on Audibon Road. This is located about 400 yards from the west end of the east-west runway of the Richmond International Airport. It was an hourly occurrence to see commercial aircraft landing there. The Virginia Air National guard also operates out of this airport. Frequently, on weekends, we saw F-15 Strike Eagle aircraft and C-130 Hercules aircraft operating from the runways, as well as commercial aircraft.
