Went to Hickam AFB yesterday...

Those pictures of the F15 going vertical remind me of the time I was driving by the airport in CT when those planes were still based there. As I drove past the end of the runway I heard a vory loud noise the scared the st!t out of me. I then saw a blur, it was an F15 roaring overhead that then went vertical. It was the first time I saw that in person, and that is the only way you can really appreciate the power of that plane. I wish I could see that again, but since the gubberment saw fit to move these planes elsewhere, it won't be anytime soon.
