In Ft. Lauderdale we have an imense airshow every June. These defenders of the Republic practice overhead for 2 days prior to the show. It brings tears of pride and awe at thier power. I would not want this power brought against me.

BUMP!

[Blue Eyes]

I work at Patuxent River Naval Air Station. My work is regularly interrupted by the sound of jets flying overhead. I am never bothered by it, and I usually stop to listen. When I am outside, I always look up to see if I can spot the plane.

It's the sound of freedom. I never get tired of it.

ping!

Out in my beloved Mojave Desert I often get to see jets flying low and fast overhead. It is always a thrill. God bless them, preparing to go in harm's way for me/us.

Wooo Hoooo! This is a good one for the canteen thread! Print it out!

[Think free or die]

We're near an air base too. I never tire of hearing the military aircraft flying overhead, especially now.

Thank you Delta for being there to protect us! Please let all your brothers know that there are indeed many patriots left in this wonderful country of ours that are concerned for your safety and that say our prayers every night for your safe return home!

[Snow Bunny]

jeff dean....one of those rare journalists these days! (the others are 'urinalists' and wouldn't give a military person the time of day).

on a motorcycle web site the other day a guy posted pics of a B-52 that made a bunch of passes right over his house. he said the windows shook and the pics were amazing. this was in arkansas.

we got buzzed by two fighter jets in death valley (appropiate place) and it scared the crap out of us, while at the same time was awesome as hell!!
