Years ago I was on a motorcycle trip in the southwest riding a 2 lane blacktop early in the morning when a jet flew right over me about 50ft over my head ( distance gets lower as I get older). Never heard him coming but I sure heard him going over. After I got my wits back I thought it was pretty cool.

Oh hiway 12 heading east off of I-5 in Washington one will come across a couple of lakes, Mayfield and Riffe. We used to fish at Riffe regularly and the dam there is pretty tall well over 800 feet from the river down below.
We used to sit alongside the dam at the parking area alongside 12 and fish. All of a sudden with no advance warning a group of Navy jets would hop the dam and take off across the lake. They would be so low they would pull water off the top of the lake at times, depending on whether it was summer and the lake was full or winter. When they were about 300 yards away from us...the sound would catch up. My buddy and I thought it was pretty slick...ans for what ever reason would make the silver salmon in the lake all excited, and they'd start hitting anything in the water...so that was good too!  :003:

This was back in the mid to late 90's. Then all of a sudden it stopped. We found out later that while Riffe lake has no homes on it, Mayfield which is below Riffe and does have homes was also getting jumped even though it was a smaller dam. And people down there whined and btched...so the Naval brass put a halt to it. It was sure fun to watch though...raw power at it's finest!

Yup, nothing like watching an F-14 make a Mach 1 pass and then stand on it's tail and fly straight up until it can no longer be made out.  The Navy seams to have stopped doing that, it was a huge moral booster on those extended deployments!

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

For a temporary trestle...that looks insanely solid! Plus of course it becomes product as they work it down. Innovation...love it!   :003:

Here are a couple I took on the north end of Vancouver Island.

The bunk behind the exhaust was a water tank to cool the brakes.

Those are some serious loads. Much bigger than any I have ever seen down in WA state. Nice shot of the one coming around the bend. Was that on the east side of north island or the west?

V12 Detroit, cool stuff, two 6-71's or 6V92's bolted together.
I had a pair of 6V92 DDEC's in my Blackfin.  :003:

I loved the V16 92 series, 2,755 ft. lbs. of torque and 1460 hp, 2 blowers, 2 turbos...
