Or like my father always joked when we were close to Ramstein AB: "The sound of freedom!"
That reminds me of a few years ago when I was at Las Vegas Motor Speedway waiting to drive a Lambo Aventador (for a bachelor party), when I heard loud roaring overhead, only to look up and see 6 F-22s gently banking into Nellis AFB for a landing, one right after another. Since they were landing they were no more than a few hundred feet above us. It was loud as hell and totally marvelous. Funny thing is that I was the only one around me out of more than a dozen people who actually got excited to see them.

Well, in China's case, it's certainly not freedom. LOL
One imagines that for the Chinese nationalists at heart it can stand for a certain kind of freedom, the freedom from foreign threat.
For anybody, nationalist or not, or Chinese or not, it would mean "freedom from foreign threat". Your air force, in almost any imaginable circumstance will not protect you from some sort of "domestic" threat. The whole point of the original joke, I think, is that these were American aircraft flying off of Ramstein air base, not German ones. So there's irony here which some people are missing.
