I was just outside my building in Old Towne, Alexandria, VA(suburb of Washington, DC) and noticed 2 low flying F-16 fighter jets fly by. I remember this happening about a month ago, but that, I eventuqally found out was for a photo shoot. Today's weather(gloomy/rain) is definitely not optimal for photo ops. Have searched the web, no results...

The pig with wings is fine...it's the thigh on the right I'm really concerned about.

[RSmithOpt]

I agree! Now, if you see an AIM-9 let loose from a pilon, then get alarmed.

[CAbornAmerasianinDC]

I guess it's nothing series(hopefully) and maybe we'll hear about it in tonight's local news.

[conservonator]

c'mon now guys! this is series. vey hugh! i'd be following every word except for my diarama. could somebuddy put this in a turn paper for me? I'm in the shower with somebody's moose-bitten sister.

My sister had diarama once: talk about moose cheese!

[cubreporter]

all weekend long it sounded as if the sky was being ripped open... what's going on?



Relax and Enjoy. It's the "Sound of Freedom." :)

>I also think it's pretty funny to see all those posts that really don't give you the answer your looking

The Freepers who know
why F-16s buzzed DC
are busy saving

the world. I'm sure they'll
fire up their BlackBerries while
the bad guys re-load . . .

I'm saying they flew over here. I didn't rush to the window so didn't see a direction, but they basically flew directly overhead at low altitude, based on the noise.

There's no airfield at NASA Goddard.

Hey Camle:

Only someone who has been reading FR over the last week would be able to appreciate your post. Very funny, to say the least.

I'm still chuckling about the turd paper comment I read in that thread.

Are you making fun of me?

Yes, there was a hugh air show this weekend. A stunt pilot also died in in a crash during practice on friday (Grhs).

I got a tour of the USS Enterprise, the "BIG E", I have a pic of me sitting in the captains chair so there! I also had VIP tickets to watch the show under a tent with a catered lunch. :P

The highlight of the show for me (besides the B-2 spirit) was when I paused to tie my shoe in front of the VIP tent full of the admirals and generals and a SEAL charged me and made me "move along!", I fell over whilst trying to get up real fast...(don't ask how I knew he was a SEAL).

I'll be back to check this thread in a few minuets, if anyone else makes fun of me I shall continue my attempted thread hijacking.

I love the smell of JP-4 in the morning!!

[Alas Babylon!]

I watched TV-Land last night. He was a little hard on the Beaver.

Are you making fun of me?

No, that would be DallasMike. Hahahaha

....and a SEAL charged me and made me "move along!", I fell over whilst trying to get up real fast...(don't ask how I knew he was a SEAL).

You shouldn't talk that way about a former Attorney General of the United States.

[petitfour]

You fell? You must not be John Kerry. Did you say to the SEAL, "Don't you know who I am?"

[spodefly]

There is a small plane (a J3, I believe) towing a banner around Atlanta. It's for GMAC Mortgage, if I am reading it right.

I doubt it's related to the DC F-16s though. F-16s suck at towing banners.
