Military Jet flying low and fast over Kansas City?

Posted on 09/06/2004 6:49:17 PM PDT by gura

Anyone in Independence/Downtown KC hear and see this too? It was obviously a jet flying a low racetrack pattern right over the city.

I'm nowhere near you, but it's not at all unusual to see and hear low-flying fighter jets where I live.

By fighter-jet standards, I'm close to an AFB and they always approach from the same direction, heading the same direction.

FWIW

B-2s are hard to see (day or night).

The enemy only should find out what they sound like right before the pickle hits 'em.

Little did Mr. J.A. Beeber know how famous he was about to be on Free Republic (little did he know there was going to BE such a thing as Free Republic):

JOHN ARTLEY BEEBER, lawyer, and president of the First National Bank of Williamsport, was born in Muncy, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, April 6, 1845, and is the eldest son of Teter D, and Mary (Artley) Beeber. He is a descendant of one of the pioneers of the West Branch valley, and the family has lived in what is now Lycoming county since 1783. His great-grandfather, John Beeber, was a native of Germany, who immigrated to Bucks county, Pennsylvania, prior to the Revolution, and served through the war of Independence. At its close he took up a soldier’s claim on Muncy creek, built a cabin in the unbroken forest, and commenced pioneer life in his new home. He married soon after coming to this county, reared a large family, and died upon the old homestead. Jacob Beeber, grandfather of our subject, was one of John Beeber’s sons. After reaching maturity he married Mary Dimm, who bore him a family of six children. After his wife’s death, he married her sister Elizabeth, of which union three children were born. He located on a farm in Muncy Creek township, in the vicinity of the original settlement, and spent his life in agricultural pursuits. His oldest son, Teter D. Beeber, was born and reared in that part of the county. He married Mary J., daughter of John and Christiana Artley, of Muncy township, and was the father of three sons, as follows: John Artley, of Williamsport; Thomas R., pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Norristown, and Dimner, a lawyer of Philadelphia. T. D. Beeber was a farmer and blacksmith, and lived in the borough of Muncy, where both he and wife died. They were members of the Lutheran church, to which faith the ancestry adhered.

The subject of this sketch was reared in his native town, and there received a public school education. He afterwards spent four years at Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, where he graduated in 1866. He then commenced reading law in the office of Hon. William H. Armstrong, of Williamsport, and was admitted to the bar in May, 1868. Since his admission he has been engaged in the active duties of his profession, and his practice extends into the several courts of the State. He is one of the best known members of the Lycoming county bar, and is recognized as a safe, careful, and judicious lawyer. Mr. Beeber is a stanch Republican, and has always taken an active interest in public affairs, as well as in the social and material development of Lycoming county. During Lee’s invasion he served in the Twenty-sixth Regiment, Pennsylvania militia. He was city solicitor in 1875 and 1876, which is the only public office he has ever hold. He was one of the organizers of the Board of Trade, is a member of the Brandon Park Commis-sion, is one of the managers of the Williamsport Hospital, and is president of the Ross Club. For several years prior to 1884 he was a stockholder and director in the First National Bank, and May 1st of that year, he was elected president, succeeding Abraham Updegraff, the first president of that institution, which is the oldest national bank in this part of the State. He has held the presidency for the past eight years, and has filled the position with credit and ability. Mr. Beeber was married, June 21, 1870, to Alice, daughter of Daniel and Catherine Clapp of Muncy, Pennsylvania. Two children, Mary J. and William P., are the fruits of this union. The family are adherents of the First Presbyterian church. Though quiet and unassuming in his character, Mr. Beeber is one of the most progressive and representative citizens of his native county.

At least he's a "staunch Republican." It would be very rude to point out his wife's maiden name for comment.

yeah, well those guardsmen are draft dodgers and cowards, just like our President was in 1972.

Well that was before hyhenated last names became the feminist craze here in America. Otherwise she would have been Catherine Clapp-Beeber (or Beeber-Clapp?).

Perhaps they are doing recon in anticipation of Bush's visit.

Oh nuts! I forgot about that... Traffic's going to be a bear! And I need to drive right by LSHS! I had better leave extra early.

Actually they're pretty darn easy to see on clear fall days when they're at about 3,000 feet and they push the throttles all the way forward . . .
