We too live in the path of one of the local hot air balloon companies so we get low flying visitors often, landing once. We also live right off the preserve and have a med evac landing pad next to us; so, again the horses have had to live through that as well. It unnerves my mustang the most. Then there is the ‘annual event’. Our nextdoor neighbor has held massive birthday parties for their sons every year. There are usually 20-30 kids (cars with parents and sibings), a bouncy house, carnival type set ups - games, etc, loud music, squealing, screaming and the best part, the little boys that I get to eat for lunch each and every time I catch them throwing rocks at my horses. Fortunately, my neighbors and I are on good terms and they’ve given me full permission to roast whomever I determine is the ring leader. The parents of the ring leader, not so enthused but they get identified and informed very quickly that their little Johnny is getting ready to saddle them with a huge vet bill and loss of value on a horse or two or three. So far we haven’t had any injuries, just annoyed horses and their owner (me). I get a month’s notice on the party so I can be prepared. My neighbors like the horses and so do their boys so at least their two kids do try to control their friends as much as any elementary school age kid can. Still the blowing up of the bouncy house and set up of all of the carnival stuff that ensues my horses find a bit mind boggling.
See now, I just assumed The Holy Spirit slept in 
My Weird is pretty tame compared to some of these.
I had 2 neighbors who flew ultralight aircraft - the ones that look like bicycle seats with lawnmower motors.
They’d fly pretty low over my pastures, but oddly this never bothered the horses 
Maybe they considered them XL hawks? They were pretty quiet.
Haven’t seen them for a couple years, so maybe moved or retired the planes.
@AwiUsdi When I lived in Chgo we were in the flight path of the annual Air Show with the Blue Angels & various military planes performing, One year the Stealth Bomber made an appearance.
We never bothered to join the humongous crowds at the lakeshore, because Practice Runs (from Glenview Naval Air Base where they were stationed) the day before went right over our backyard. 
Medical helicopter landing in the field in the middle of the night. Left the fence down, I suspect no one knew there were horses in the field in the dark. Got lucky and no one ended up on the major road right next to the field. I think they were scared enough that they all stayed near the far corner next to the barn until they were rescued in the morning!
Skydiver landing, that was interesting!
When a hot air balloon appeared low above the trees at my place, my Arab wanted to chase it.
We have a ultralight place a couple of miles over. They do not seem to bother mine either. They watch them but don’t get scared.
Not sure why we are a little aviation mecca on the prairie!
We had a huge skydiving convention for years at our airport. The first year they were landing willy nilly but no one seemed to have any animal issues. The parachutists on the other hand were very close to heat stroke trying to drag their chutes out of ten feet tall cornfields. The next years they got better about where and when to jump. They did world record formations and everything. The Russian fighter jet owner I referenced in my previous post was the organizer. It was actually pretty cool and then our town ran them out because of politics I suppose. Jumpers still write fondly of the event.
That is funny!
I am loving all of this craziness! Balloons and skydivers pretty much sound like a giant nightmare.
My hope is that the revival will spill over into my evil mini’s soul… maybe there is hope for her after all! She has 10 chances to listen!
I am trying not to be, but we have some really elderly neighbors and they go to bed around 7 (when the reviving begins) and their son is pissed! Reviving is a noisy process I have learned!
I just have to think- how would they feel if I had a DJ set up nightly for 10 days. I do have a friend who is an aspiring dj, maybe it’s time he has some shows in my yard!
I would just assume if your part of a church doing this, you would just revive in the church and in the AC.
Must be trying for some historic nostalgia as a draw for the event. That is historically how they did it: traveling preacher pitched a tent going from town to town. Baptism in the local river; and depending on the river, sometimes you came back up for air and sometimes you didn’t.
Not gonna happen 
More likely:
Mini will appear in a POOF! of smoke in the tent & scare the living bejeezus out of the Revivalists 
ETA:
Does this appear in any way repentant?
I was used to all manner of planes (vintage war planes doing acrobatics, etc.) at a place I used to board. I’d stop my horse and stare up into the air trying to get pictures with my phone. We’d even watch helicopter crop dusting - those people are crazy. But, the first time I heard a flying lawnmower at the new place, I about lost my brain out the side door. My horse, “Meh, it’s another buzzy flying thing.” lol
HAHAH you can see the evil in her eyes… and I love it so much!
Here is my little monster, trying to get wine…
Why am I hearing a new rendition of that Ray Stevens song?
We live in the middle of nowhere on a route that is very popular with “ultra” type events- utramarathons, 50 and 100k bike races, endurance rides, 4x4 rallies. 900 bikers pedaling past the field all afternoon? No worries. Hundreds of ultramarathoners with headlamps that look like they’re floating down the road at night, lit by glo sticks hung from trees? Cool. The first year we lived here, the endurance horses trotting past on a mission did cause some running and bucking, but after that first year it’s not much of a big deal. All of the support crews for all these races convoy past as well, because an aid station/vet check is usually held at my neighbors. That is also pretty unusual when you live on a road where you get maybe a dozen cars all day.
It’s made for rock solid trail horses though. Nothing we see on a trail gets much more than a flick of an ear, if that.
I forgot about hunting and gunshots!
Before I got my current horse, I was leasing a nice Steady-Eddie type guy. So we were taking a jumping lesson outside on a lovely autumn day, approaching a gate when BANGBANGBANG! Someone is firing some kind of gun rapidly and it sounds very close to the ring.
Steady Eddie loses his marbles. I had to circle him repeatedly. It all teaches you how to handle unexpected things. 
We had a hot air balloon land in the field next to my cobs pasture. He was hanging over the gate looking at it longingly, I think he figured it was a huge picnic hamper.
We were on a regular flight path, and had to keep out Doberman in the house or chained when they were flying, or she would chase them.
I would have definitely sued! It’s amazing the mare didn’t die.
You know we could be onto to something…big tent, revival meeting for ponies, to drive Satan from their souls…could be a money makes.
OMG We had exactly the same thing! Including the ground crew in the support car not bothering to come ask at the farm whether it was ok to go in the field they’d landed in and just going through, leaving gates open and breaking fencing down as they went. Did NOT go down well.
Edit to add, it was a 50ish acre field and there were around 25 horses turned out in it. Gates open and broken fencing was not a good option with us being on the edge of town and the farm lane opened straight out on to a busy dual carriageway (trying to think what the US term would be - I’m in England - 4 lanes of traffic, 2 in each direction)
