I feel pity for anybody that had to be around that thing. I work around running jet engines all day, and even at idle, the modern "quiet" turbofans are earsplitting. Two old turbojets at full throttle must have left bleeding ears for blocks around them.

Acres, not blocks. Any "ears that were bleeding were corn, not human...

This is/was farm country, and much, much less populated in 1966.

Actually that might not be true. Was thinking about were I grew up in Oklahoma earlier from something completely unrelated. When I was a kid there were several houses on the mile section we lived on. Now the only one left is our 'new' one that we build in the 60's. As the family farms have went away to large farming operations and the amount of workers decreased by automation there are far fewer people in a lot of farm country. That's a contributing factor to why so many of the small towns are disappearing also. Enough before I get off on long winded economic dissertation.

Point taken, you may be right.

My comment was based on the area around my grandparent's farm, which I visited every summer from the time I was six until I was about 18 or 19. Every year, a few more people, it seemed.

More power to them, if they can just maintain the area.

Maintain... The farms? If so, I'm afraid not.

Fields began sprouting houses, and more recently, gas wells.
