The little woman and I were fishing by a railroad bridge across the Wabash river several years back, when all of a sudden our field of vision was filled with a fighter jet. The sound lag gave us no indication that he was comming. He scared the sh#t out of us for a nano second. I mean he was on the deck. I know they need places to train, but that kind of stuff is hard on old Vets.

Always a bonus if you scare the locals.

Pete-R-Bilt has some awesome truckdriver stories about being lit-up while driving through puckerbrush country in Nevada.

It's not hard on this old vet. I live on a course between a base a hundred miles away and a power station here that they pretend to bomb. Sometimes it sounds like they will fly right in my back door and out the front.
May God bless them all. Their lives and our security depends upon them being the best they can be. That is achieved only by constant practice.
Having to change my drawers after some of their bombing runs, seems a small price to pay.

My wife and I were on 50 out of Fallon headed east when wing of Intruders decided to buzz us from behind. Four of those buggers, all in trail, at less than 100 feet, right over the top of our Bluebird. They all pulled up, reformed, and did it again. By this time we were pulled over and just cracking up and waving at them... they really put on a show. We were the only ones on the highway for miles in either direction.....
We did change our underwear.
