re: Best flyover or military aircraft experience

I was bumped from a commercial flight in Tokyo. Got put on a C-17 cargo flight from Tokyo to Seattle. 12 hours ....

About 20 minutes out of Tokyo, Pilot comes from the cockpit ...."Where are you headed?" "Going back to take a nap" "Can I go up and sit up front?" "Can't see anything, but go ahead ....'

He lied, I could see ships in the Pacific lit up as we zoomed along. Co Pilot was pretty cool about the whole trip..

Edwards was great. Thunderbirds every day. SR-71, U2

Best overall I could never figure out. We were practicing for a Baseball Game at Cross Bayou, Florida and I looked up. Coach came and stood with me ...."Ever see this before?" "Only place I can imagine they are going is Nicaragua." One B-52, then four F-111's, then 4 B-52's, then four F-111's, we watched those guys go overhead for 30 minutes ....Finally told the coach "I'll find out tonight, but I'll tell you someone is pissed to send all that firepower south." That night I called Dad ......he called back..."You're right, The President is pissed."
