I remember watching the Blue Angels performing at Fort Washington, Pennsylvania (their base) from a shopping center near their takeoff and landing runway. They would come up over the Walmart like building at rooftop level and you felt that you could reach up and touch them from the parking lot. And then they would kick in their afterburners and you could feel the heat from the blast.
One night I woke up hearing a sound high overhead that reminded me of a war somewhere. After talking about it to a colleague at work, I learned later that they were B-52's deployed to Iraq from Fort Hood to start Desert Storm. Just think if they were the enemy flying overhead. it would scare the jebbies out of me.
They do the same in our neck of the woods. Really noisy, especially when they hit those after-burners. And the big helicopters, a half dozen or more, flying in formation, have a frequency that (I swear) would be a cure for constipation. Congrats Eddy on 5000 titles. Peace poet ... richard
