Dude if you drove an F-16 you could scorch Dallas traffic with your afterburner. Of course I'd be tempted to trade it in for an F-22 to reduce the radar signature and thus more easily avoid traffic tickets.

Quick story. I was fishing in northern New Mexico with my then eight year old son. We were way back in the boonies, Costilla Creek if you've ever heard of the place, when all of the sudden an F-22 pops up over the top of a hill and proceeds to fly right down the cramped valley we were in. We nearly crapped ourselves.

Thanks for all you guys do!

And, you know, you don't have to wait for "permission" for a fly by......Maverick didn't. :wink:

The neighbors might have a choice word or two if not notified in advance - not that I would care - a flyover is always COOL! Hope you get to do it sooner rather than later - that'll mean you're home.
Don't worry. Be Happy. Or not.

Thanks for your service Jetnfast. Appreciate what you do. I left a few divots over there last time I played that course in the 90's.

Although I don't get to fly Navy hardware anymore, I do fly in regularly for the games and two weeks ago the ATC guys brought me overhead Ford stadium. My son got a huge kick out of seeing the campus from 1000' up. Hope you get your flyover! Def more fun in your plane.
