Being 2 miles from Tinker AFB I see those all the time along with lots of other military aircraft. B1's so low it looks like a sling shot could tag it. When they turn east above my house headed for TN and hit the fast button - that's when the windows rattle for a couple minutes.
YOU DAH MAN, Irish!! Military Flyover at your house... Uhm, Erh, Ahh, or... It might have been one of their wife's picture you inadvertently posted on the FFF yesterday. Might Check your Six come sundown. Be Safe, and Deny any knowledge of the picture and or source. Good Luck.
We get flybys here like that from time to time. They're one use of my tax dollars that I enjoy!
Lived on the approach to Moffett NAS for a few years. Lots of helos, sub chasers, fighters and transports. But the best was NASA's U2. It'd come in engine spooling up and down, so had a quite distinctive sound. There was also the HUGE Russian transport that came through a few times.
CH-53E's. The tail rotor is tilted and produces as much lift as a Huey.

ReplyDeleteIt's more fun to watch them when doing treetop insertions!
