LIGHT UP THE SKY! (F-111 doing a low-level)

BURN! That shit went over my house. It was loud. I've missed low levels over our fair city. And that was a great one. Windows rattling and all.

"My god, I want one"

That's very funny.

So that's why my friend was all confused - he saw th light and didn't understand what it was.

You get buzzed by F-111's at high speed, and people cheer. Our place get's buzzed by C-130's, and the flights get re-routed because of people bitching about the noise. It ain't fair!

Still, great shot.

I'm guessing it was Australia day ... not your everyday kind of deal.

I don't think it was for Australia Day. I think it was for some Godforsaken Tasmanian holiday.

Down here we regularly get buzzed by various fighter jets and nobody gives a shit because it happens so often

Indeed, that was a great shot.

That was for Regatta Day.

I was really pissed off that I was busy with shit last weekend as we had the Roulettes flying all weekend, that on Monday night and Navy boats in town all week and I missed every single fucking one of them.

I only caught the F-111 because I heard the bastard go overheard and remembered the very distinct noise from when I was living directly under one of their training runs.
