Two F/A-18 Hornets just blew right over our building. The entire place shook, and it set off at least one car alarm.

The Blue Angels are back in town!

Wonder if they'll do a fly-by at Pac Bell?

I lived/live under the approach of a municipal airport...

During one airshow, about a decade ago, they canned a Marine pilot demonstrating the F/A-18 after he crossed the Interstate between where I was and the airport and did a flat turn over the neighborhood without going above 150 feet.

Cool trick, rattled all the windows, scared the shit out of most of the neighborhood. The news reported a bunch of people thought it had crashed.

(I remember the Blue Angels when they flew F4's and A4's... :| )
