I tend to avoid em, some bugger always hands me a wrench & says “Here, help me fix blah blah blah” 🙁
On the other hand, I live right under the flight path for AF Plant 42 & Edwards AFB is just up the road a bit so I get an airshow just about everyday.
In the past week I’ve had a B2 go over the house at 200ft, had my entire house & teeth rattled by a B1 taking off in full burner, had the **** scared out of me by a Raptor going like a bat out of hell & using the road I was riding along as a nav aid. Almost daily flybys by JSF’s & F117’s. There’s the daily 10.30am (ish) U2 flight & I saw the white (NASA) SR71 outside the other day. We also get *boomed* at least 2 or 3 times a week by the guys at Edwards.
I also get to play silly buggers with the security guys at Lockheed as my bank is there (my VISA card has a JSF on it) & I use the access road as a drag strip. They get a bit freaked by Kawasaki 1100’s screaming towards them at 130+ before braking like hell & turning into the parking lot next to the main gate :diablo:
Ok no need to rub it in lol, the most i get where i live is the odd S&R chopper go into the local hospital when someone falls off the mountains, anyway personally i’m looking forwrd to the first decent airshow in my county in recent years link below……….
