Back in the olden days I used to get a show like that quite often in
Clinton Md when they were having an air show at Andrews. The fighters
were making a lot of their turns right over my house.
After a few of those crashes Harry is talking about they started being
a little more careful. It is scary when you think of it. The pilot may
be able to punch out but that plane is coming down somewhere.
There are not many places in suburban DC where that is not in
someone's house.

That's true. My son had to get special permission from the FAA and
his Squadron commander to do a low level flyby of the house on my 50th
birthday.

For some reason, they look absoutely HUGE even flying at 250 feet off
the deck.

Loud too. :)
