Scary sight
 

This morning, I woke up to the sound of what I thought were big trucks, perhaps tanks, rolling down my street. It was loud and thunderd.
I snapped out of bed, and looked around....nothing on the ground, so I looked to the sky. My eyes had to adjust a bit, but I saw 3 Blackhawk helicopters flying over my house at a pretty good speed. I didnt have time to focus, one might have been a AH-1 Cobra, i dunno. They were heading north and quickly.
I snap to my computer and talk to Koll. Within 5 mins of it happening, he tells me that there were 8 flying over his house.

Anyway, Id like to thank the US Armed Forces for the wakeup call this morning.

well, SOMEONE's gotta get your lazy ass out of bed.. you cant argue with men with guns ;)

so helicopters scared u? try f15s or or Large airliners flying out of daytona and my apartment on regualr basis....i got used to it. Stop complaining old man!

Well, yes when they fly less then 1000ft over your house at about 125mph, they make a very distictive noise that made me jump out of bed.

It was a black ops mission. Your door bell will be ringing soon. We will neeed to debrief you.

Ahhhhhhhh crap, not again. Can I at least finish watching Price is Right?

On second thought, you're going to need to be probed, "Big Al's pants, COME ON DOWN!!!"

my apartment was across the street from Daytona International, when the conditions were not favorable and they used runway 16 planes were coming right over my apartment


ohh and u havents heard loud until an f15 passes you at less then 500 feet approaching mach one at the air show in Jacksonville. damn now that was loud i thought my brains were gonna jump out of me head...

id rather have our armed forces flying over our head then some other jit bags! just think of hte people that wake up to exploding bombs and gun fire all the time.

You haven't heard loud until 10 UH-1B Huey's have flown over at less than 100 feet on their way to Pope Air Force Base. I was in training at Ft Bragg, in a field that was a stones throw from the huge fence between Bragg lands and Pope fields, and had to stop training until they flew far enough away that we could talk again. Everyone pulled out their orange ear plugs just to keep the brain from shaking to pieces.

says the man with the blow up doll... is she the AFB's community bicycle?

Well no one cares about you Commie.
Was it loud on space station?

Loud is standing behind four F-14D's on full afterburner take off, or two B-1B's. It's so loud your ear drums go into compression.

she's all mine!!! I bought her first!!!

One day I was standing in the street talking to a friend that was inside his car... I hear a rumble, and look up to see an F-16 flying pretty low at a GOOD rate of speed. When he got over us, it was so loud I couldnt hear a word my friend said. That was cool.

Then there were the ROTC days at Ft. Dix at the obstacle course. Sitting at the top of the cargo net climb for about 2 hours with kc10's going over your head right after take off gets a little ear piercing at times. :lol:

I remember back in the 5th grade walking home from school and seeing 3 army copters flyin over my head it was pretty cool! especially for a 5th grader(at that time)..
Edit and at pocono it was cool as hell to see that big ass plane fly over us!!....even though it was 3 min late...

yea back home f-16s or some other type of fighter jet will fly pretty low over my house during the night, its actually pretty cool. ive never seen them before but always heard them, sometimes theyre so low they rattle the house a lil

as far as we are from ft dix/mcguire and the other end pomona, we still get them fairly close to the ground here. it is a comforting sound.

yea im like a half hour from there (back home), i drive by there everytime when i head up to school or head home for the weekend...
