I live here. It is not 30 miles. More like 5 miles from Rolling Oaks Mall.

I’m glad the Crew punched out safely. Traffic is gonna be a mess at this hour, bad spot. Like there is a good spot/time to eject.

I used to live in UC just behind the Home Depot. About as in the Flight Path as one can be. Sitting in the backyard and could have hit them with a rock on Final.

Flights in and out, Touch and Go’s all week long. Randolph AFB is a busy place on a normal day.

Was always cool when the Airshow was going on. Asleep in bed and during a warm up somebody came over the house just shy of Afterburner, I thought the Windows were going shatter ! I’m laying in bed thinking I should get up and go to the Show when this happens. As I’m thinking about the Sounds of Freedom My Girlfriend is suddenly Sitting Bolt upright in bed screaming “WHAT THE H&!! WAS THAT ?!?!”

As We arrived at the Edge of the Static Displays the Golden Knights are jumping and we watched as one Jumpers Main got snarled and He cut away then poped the Reserve and by then He was too low and it failed to fully deploy. He went onto the trees and there was a rush of Recovery Crews headed that way. Never found out how He faired.
