I have been buzzed by an F-4 skimming treetops. I was a lad at the time riding with my mom in central Texas. We were driving along a winding Hill Country road when this F-4 came screeming through the valley just a few feet above the trees. Mom nearly jimped out of her skin (it passed about 50 feet ahead of us). I, being a 10-year-old aviation fanatic, was elated beyond belief.

And thus are the dreams of a young lad born. Its a beautiful thing.
