The only time I got close to the her, was in the 70's when she was doing her take off trials under hot conditions at high altitudes. This was at Jan Smuts Airport near Johannesburg. It was impressive watching her take off under the stress of high temperatures and high altitude. The Jan Smuts reference point was exactly 5555 ft. above sea level. Nowadays the airport has a different name.

My other memorable flight-related event, was here in Florida. On a few occasions one of the space shuttles would fly almost directly over our house on its approach to the landing runway. It was still supersonic and that created a loud double "boom" that shook the windows and caused dust to fall from the ceiling. The whole family would run to the TV so we could watch the landing in real time.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
