That ain't low.

Low was when an FB-111 buzzed my squadron hangar in Beaufort, South Carolina in 1987.

I was able to call the squadron in question at Pease AFB, identify the aircraft by tail number, and tell them that some fasteners were missing from a panel next to the left main gear door.

Here in Austin, before they moved the airport from Mueller out to Bergstrom, I used to eat lunch at Captain's on I35 so I could watch planes fly at what seemed like 200 feet over us.

Tickled me, for some strange reason.

"That ain't low"

Low was a B-58 practicing a low level supersonic run over northern Michigan during deer season.

I had to leave the woods for clean long johns.

Low was getting buzzed by two F/A-18s while standing in bridge of an SSN I was on. You could see the pilots giving us the "thumbs-up" through the canopy.
