I was driving into Whiteman for a JAG interview and had one come over top of me for a landing. Scared the shit out of me; never heard a thing and then this giant thing just comes floating over top of me and takes up half my windshield. With flaps down and everything while it was slowing for a landing, it just looked like it was hovering.
And like you said - dead silent until it's past you.
