Auburn is super close (air mileage wise) to Columbus and Ft. Benning. I can't count the number of times we would get Ranger Blackhawks flying over campus and the town. Sometimes they would be at treetop level and just cruising along. I remember coming out of my apartment and one was practically in a hover above the parking area. Guys hanging out the door, just looked up and waved.
Probably the coolest thing I have seen was when Bush 43 spoke at AU as a campaign stop for the local Republican House member for the 2002 election season. Got to see the Sikorsky whitetops fly over as he came in, and then a Chinook (guess it was carrying the Beast and other motorcade vehicles) flying out after it was over.

Awesome dude! Yeah you're right about the president stuff... Air Force One flew into Tucson at that same base and it was HUGE... followed by an array of different aircraft in tow/perimeter.
