We have an Air Force base out here. It’s crazy to see one of those jets fly across the sky over your backyard. It never gets old.

On a related note—awhile back I was on a bike ride by the base on what I can only assume was training day for AWAC pilots. An AWAC plane came in low for a landing and was directly over my head when it hit the throttle to regain altitude. The sound was like a physical presence that knocked me off my bike. The pain of it was so intense that I think I clawed at the pavement trying to dig a hole to avoid it. It lasted for a few seconds but left me stunned for awhile.
I had a lot of friends who worked at the base and they weren’t impressed at all by my story. I guess it happens all the time.

Oh yeah, Kentucky. Yeah, we’re going to kill them.

Here’s my “cool story”. Back in mid 70’s, my father was stationed at Eielson AFB near Fairbanks, Alaska. I was about 12 at the time, and bunch of our neighborhood guys were outside goofing off and all of a sudden the USAF Thunderbirds flew directly overhead not more than a couple hundred feet above us as they were coming in for the airshow at the base that weekend. Sent chills down my spine.
