MCAS Cherry Point
When visitors come to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, one of the first things many of them notice is the roar of jet aircraft passing over the front gate on their way to or from runway number "five-two."

Outside the gate, on a sign .... are the words, "Pardon our noise, it's the sound of freedom." 


Personally, I think the sound of those jets overhead are the most wonderful sound in the world.
