I can't hear you cause of this ringing in my ears-----------
Besides the typical normal sounds around the airport in my life since 1961----- Caravelles were very loud at about 45* angle to the nose of aircraft--of course as they taxied into the gates, it was like a gatling sound gun on a swivel cause they did in the whole area as they made at that time a 180-270 turn into parking
And then there was the time at Indy that Keeling wasn't there yet so I poured the Sperex for the burnout for the left wheel, stepped over the nose of dragster to pour right side, did the sign to Ramsey to do the burn out and Wiebe was in the other lane at same time---I was BETWEEN them ---ears rang like a constant siren for two days------
John's ride to the cemetery, his beloved Billings OK bus, The Baby Elephant!! Traveling in style!! As his service was starting I couldn't figure out what the music was, heavy on a flute in a jaunty...
