A group of fellow Patriot Guard Riders and I went to North Mississippi this week to honor a Marine KIA (RIP Eddie), and a crop duster was doing his thing, when all of a sudden he came from behind us right over our head following the road,, nearly wet myself, but was funny afterwards..

Now that was buzzing!!!

Back in 1988, I was on my way from Idaho to visit my grandmother in central Oregon. I had a radar detector up and running. All the sudden the detector lit up and went nuts with the alert. There were no cops within sight (straight road for miles and nothing to hide behind). An instant later two shadows briefly blotted out the sun. I figured I was done for. Out in the middle of nowhere, something coming out of the sky, electronics going nuts.

Turned out it was two EF-111s from Mountain Home AFB in Idaho doing some terrain following practice - their radars had set off my detector. They couldn't have been more than a couple of hundred feet up.

I was 1) glad they were ours, and 2) really glad they weren't piloted by little grey aliens.

LOL! Yep. South road past the Holloman active runway was just about 100 ft from the apron. A T-38 making a landing when you were passing underneath on your bike sounded like it went in your left ear and out your right ear.

I ALWAYS flinched. Wonder that I never wound up with road rash on that particular strip of road.
