    Default F-15

    Yep,

    I've seen that quite a few times myself. I like it when they come off the end of the runway and go straight up till they're nearly out of site, then roll over on their back. I was told by some guys, on the flightline line, that since the aircraft just came out of maintenance, this was to see how many bolt,nuts,washers,and tools were left in the aircraft as they would fall out onto the canopy. Don't know how true that is, but it was funny.

    My favorites were the B1B's when they took of heading north, The noise would shake my computer way up in Building 300.

    GABoy;; It's amazing aint it, While fishing over on the Tombigbee river Al/ Ms line we have the fortune to see these f-15 out of columbus air force base run test manuvers down the river and out threw the fields, Man!, they will come in sometimes at tree top level, well four 0r five hunderd feet i guess? And make you jump out of your seat, man!. The power those bird's have is awsome!!! It's kinda like standing between two top fuel cars when they take off on the line. The earth just tremble's with the power they make

    It is absolutely amazing to say the least.....I will never get tired of feeling the building shake.

    FishPro - where did you get that picture from? That is awesome.

    I wish I was able to get closer to get some better pictures. I was actually in the new parking lot they just built up by building 301 when I took that picture. I have a pretty long lens that helps to pull things in close.
