I was heading north back to the Interstate, heading home and out of nowhere four A-10 Warthogs crossed right above me at power line altitude. You just can't buy that kind of show.

I get to see that almost every day. Sometimes the local squadron (Idaho Air Nat'l Guard at Gowen Field) is landing right when I drive home, and my route takes me right past the end of the runway and under the approach pattern. Oh, and the place I work backs up to the runway (sometimes we sit by the fence during lunch and watch the air traffic). Plus, they occasionally fly over my neighborhood. :^)

A few years back I lived in Denver, and my home was in the flight path for the fly-bys they used to do over Mile High. Saw lots of fighter jets and such. But, the best was the last time...

Imagine the amazement at seeing the stealth come over your house - completely engulf it in a shadow, and be able to run from one side of the house, to the other side and STILL be under the plane! That thing was HUGE, and flying low and slow! Can’t imagine what that must look like to our enemies... ;)
