It's why I went to the Reno air races in 2008 and will go again this year if time avails. Hearing those Mustang engines at full bore is something to be experienced...

Slight update, yesterday an AH-64D was doing loops around field for what every reason, and 1000ft, that thing is pretty quiet, you could only hear it when it was really low and flaring.
