Oh yea, We were on the dry lake bed with our truck full of gear and I was on the roof looking for the plane. I knew it was coming but I had to locate it. It came out of no where and roared (I mean ROARED) over my head. I thought it would hit me it looke dthat low. I almost soiled my BDUs.
I can only imagine what Al Sadr must be thinking.

About 1980 I was fishing in Western Wyoming. It was very quite. My little voice told me something was about to happen so I reeled my line and went over to a tree where my rifle was. I started to hear this low rumble and feel a shaking in my gut. It got louder and I thought it was a very large earthquake, about that time a B-52 went over the top of me literally at 100 feet. I could see the rivet heads. Right behind him was an F-15 with the burners going. The F-15 popped up in vertical climb topped out at about 5,000 feet rolled over and dove on the BUFF. At that point I lost sight of them because they went over a hill. Didn't think a BUFF would bank at that speed that close to the ground. I about messed my pants also. Later, in some little town I stopped to have a beer and asked the bartender what was going on. He said they BUFFs were a regular fixture in that area and they did that all the time.

Would love to see a Bone do the same thing. I am jealous of your experience.
