I guess it all depends on just who it is doing the "Close Swoops"??



So, you're standing on your balcony just chilling, when...



See this pic ---->  http://www.orionite.com/close_swoop.jpg

 

This picture captures the moment a US Navy pilot gave a shocked resident a

very close look at his F18.  The fighter/bomber streaked past an apartment

block on the banks of the Detroit River (almost like those L-39 drivers we

recently read about??).  It was part of a tactical demonstration fly-past to

open a speedboat race in the North American city.  



One resident said, "I couldn't believe how low they flew and how close they

came to our building, I'm sure the pilot waved at me."

"Jet noise. The sound of Freedom." Besides, they had the right markings and

they flew on the East Coast. We're used to seeing Vipers, Hornets, and

Eagles flying up our rivers and over our lakes. Bet you don't get that kind

of whining at Pensacola, Fort Walton, and Panama City when the Blues, the

Eagles, Raptors, and Vipers are in town. Having done the "Beach Run" more

than once in the Viper, have not soaked up a complaint so far.  But was

smart enough to stay 1000 ft from structures and boats though.

I strongly disagree with your comments here Doc.
