F-15 Flyovers today

[Kulindahr]

I was just walking out of the house with Knox when an intense roar overwhelmed all other sound. I hadn't figured out what it was when I caught movement out of the corner of my right eye and turned to see an F-15 flying over at about 400 -500 feet altitude, just below the clouds; moments later another one came booming by from the other direction. They then circled the town, dipping in and out of the bottoms of the clouds, before heading off south.

Anyone else see Veterans Day flyovers? or at least hear them?

When I lived in South Jersey they would fly low over my apartment building. From McGuire air force base. Would scare the bejeezus out of me until I got used to it.

No, and I'm not sure how common that is over here. The Remembrance Day coverage on TV includes RAF personnel, but without their planes as far I recall.

Was walking in the lake district once when out of the silence roared an RAF Harrier on a training run. 600 mph at tree hight, the noise was braincrushing, louder than painful, then a second later it was gone. They couldnt do that in a populated area, there would be car crashes and heart attacks.

Nothing compares with the year that the final Concorde flights took place over Toronto Island during the Exhibition. Even the F series flyovers.

I think that it probably was what triggered my partner's father's heart attack. But wow...it was amazing.

Dang -- I thought having two F-15s fly by just a hundred feet away when on a mountain was bad!
