I lived and worked at Carswell AFB in Ft.Worth TX( 301st TWF). The biggest thrill I ever got was when they(BUFFS) had an ORE and all of them (8 and armed) fired up and took off.I was on the flight line at the end of the runway waiting on our F-4S to be armed for escort. They took off first,I could not comphrend the noise,the size and thrust of these beasts.I still get cold chills to this day thinking about that 35 mins in my life, not to mention their retutn.

Thanks for mentioning the OREs. I’d forgotten about seeing them, and fortunately, I saw several of them take place. They were truly mesmerizing every time I watched them. I took pictures of a number of them but, alas, that camera was stolen with the film inside.
