I live in Salina. KS, home of the former Schilling AFB. The main runway is 13,000ft+ and alot of military aircraft do touch-and-goes on that long strip. Also, Salina is just about half way between the East coast and the West coast so alot of business jets stop here for refueling. also, Kansas State University-Salina has their pilot training school here. Salina has about 325 flying days/year so there's always something in there air around town.
A couple times in the past 5 years the US Navy has brought in a group of T-45's for air-to-ground training at the ANG bombing range 10 miles west of town.
Speaking of the bombing range, in the 18+ years I've been here, I've got to see alot of aircraft over the range. Way back, I would see F-4's and A-7's. Later, F-16's started showing up along with A-10's. Wow, have you ever heard or seen that 30mm cannon going off. Even from my vantage point, about 5 miles from the gunnery range, the sight and the noise are incredible.
Lately, I've seen B-1's and B-2's doing low level practice bombings. Occasionally I'll see C130's and C-17's over the range but I'm not sure what their doing.
Lastly, Wichita, KS, the air capital of the world, is 90 miles south of here. Boeing, Raytheon and Bombardier all have large operations there and do alot of touch nd goes with there new builds. In fact, in the late '80's the two 747's that eventually became the new Air Force One's were doing touch and goes all the time. This was before the planes had been painted and were sporting bare-metal and green primer paint schemes.
I try to get out to the airport as often as I can. You never know what might be out there refueling or doing touch and goes.
