Are military planes and helicopters flying lower these days over the area where you live?

This has been going on for a while in Albuquerque, and there is new scuttlebutt in the papers about low altitude training missions being proposed for the mountains (and communities) of northern New Mexico that would involve flying 200 feet overhead. The debate over these training missions is being framed with the threat of base (realignment and) closures (BRAC). So basically, the threat of closing military bases—which would sink the economy of two New Mexico towns—if the public somehow blocks the military from conducting low altitude exercises over populated (mountain) areas.
I’m mainly interested in knowing if this issue is cropping up elsewhere, but if you have an opinion on the matter feel free to share.
