They should live Europe/Germany. Jets buzzing all over the place.

Nothing like an F-15 screaming over your hilltop camp hill in the morning.

We won't get into what a B-52, flying map of map-of-earth,

does to your shorts the first time you get buzzed.

How about what a B-52 does, when badly piloted by a top-brass visiting general who last flew them 20 years previously?

First, he ignored my frantic signals to STAY PUT while my assistant pulled the chocks. Nearly ran him over.
He PO'd the tower by butting in front of a KC-135 who had clearance,
then he started his takeoff roll so slowly we were all wincing in anticipation of a disaster.

I thought he'd never lift clear, and the gear took the tops off the trees past the end of the runway.

Hey Rain, I thought I was one of the few guys that believes in our military kicking ass at the enemy and also allowed to have some fun with civilian "puffs."

Methinks it's Nap of the Earth (NOE).

I was stationed at Hahn and Spangdahlem ABs when they were F-4 bases. Man, they were loud! The F-15's at Bitburg were like a whisper compared to those 'Wild Weasels'.
