    My all time favorite flyover was when I was a cadet at the Air Force Academy back in the late 60's. We were in formation for lunch when there was a flyover by a flight of four F105s. The tail man got a little behind on the approach and was pushing the throttles a little too hard to catch up. He went supersonic right over us and knocked out all the South facing windows of Mitchell and Vandenburg Halls. Awesome damage.

    After GW I, the opening of football season.. I was living on Grant st. Sitting there watching the pre game.. I heard a very loud noise,, Stepped out on the deck just in time to see a F117 fly over.. Close enough, if I had a rock,, I could have hit it..

    I still hear about that at times from guys who were there or at the academy afterwords.
