fighter jets

hey did anyone see like 4 fighter jets fly by today around 7 tonight, thought it sounded a bit loud to be a normal plane and I looked up and saw them flying in formation looked sweet as hell.:eek4:

 

Umm where?? Were not all located centrally.

 

this reminds me - anyone know of any good airshows happening this summer?

 

Oshkosh, WI - July 28th - Aug 3rd. Mother of all airshows.

Melvin and I did...super loud! It was actually pretty scary, because we were watching "Inside 9/11" on the History Channel, and they were showing the planes crashing into the WTC. :eek4:

 

I saw a buttload of T-34's and one P-38 (!!) go over my house in St. Paul all in formation on Saturday. They must've been leaving St. Paul downtown airport.

 

thanks guys, i've been wanting to photograph an airshow - I'll probably go to both of those for at least a day

 

Should be pretty good--the last blue angels show I went to was fun.

 

yea, location would be sweet. I see F-16s flying around all the time here in Duluth.....but we have an Air Guard base here.


and yes, the Duluth airshow looks like it's going to be sweeet!!!! the Blue Angels are extremely impressive, I've seen them perform a few times.

 

You'd be surprised at the amount of noise complaints we get.

 

Hey did any of you guys see the Canadian Snowbirds last week? Thought they were pretty sweet.

 

The Blue Angels were in Duluth a few years ago. They would buzz campus at about 1500 ft. That was awesome.

Also, there are F-16's buzzing around all the time. If you are near the airport when they take off, you cannot hear anything else.

 

I think F-16's are the loudest fighter I've heard. Not as loud as being 100 yards from the Concorde at full throttle+AB at Oshkosh, though.

 

ive seen them too. around 694 by whitebear lake area where the 694 10 split is. also my girlfriend has seen them as well. one is blue, two are white and the other appears red?

this does look pretty sweet - i will most likely be going up to photograph

 

Ya that big single Pratt & Whitney is not subtle. You only hear it when it goes past you though.

 

I dont think they took off from the st. paul airport my grandma lives just up the hill from that airport I think I would have heard them take off, it looked like they were coming from the west.

 

There was a air show/ avation days in Blaine this last saturday, sunday @ the Blaine airport Not sure if any of the planes were from there or not.

 

The F18s were up and hitting afterburner over camp lejeune all day today.

That and it seemed like every super stallion on base was practicing landing in hot LZ's today. They kept dropping in right over us, pretty loud when you're trying to work with mine detectors. lolz

I miss all the cobras flying over and doing live fires like we had at pendleton, but then again, when you're trying to sleep in the field, you learn to HATE those lucky officers up there buzzing around in the dark.

 

PS, I used to think ospreys were the coolest thing ever, and freaked out when I saw one. I have now seen and heard enough of those things to make me sick. I swear they fly around every day just to see if they can get them to start falling apart again.

 

k, I think I'll order ticks either tonight or tomorrow

 

Give me a call if you need a place to stay.

 

huh....in years past we've bought tickets at the gate. never had problems.....

 

That's called field testing. Good practice for the mechanics, too.

 

yeah they did a flyby for the event at the capitol that day
i live across the street and it shook my building

 

Saw them around same time. I was at a park im Maplewood playing volleyball and I'm like wtf? Holy crap! Jets! COol Beans.
