CF-18 Flyover, September 6th

McMahon Stadium, Calgary Alberta.

Fuck me I need a new camera. This 480P bullshit is garbage.

ETA - this jet represents about 1.35% of our total CF-18 jets. How fucking sad is that?

I heard that the Canadian CF-18s were actually built by Norinco in China.

Do not make fun of the Canadian aerospace industry.

They were making FLYING SAUCERS for the USAF all the way back in the 50's before it all got black-budgeted, and got put under the mountains around Area 51 and S4...

That was a low pass? Jeez, if he'd lost both engines he had enough altitude to glide to Easter Island.

Well, if they only have a couple left, I guess I can see why they might be afraid to fly them low.

Yeah, my temporary neighbors keep raising hell. I'm thinking about calling 2A373, see if he has anyone left he can send to teach these guys a lesson.

I've been here since May 5th. It still makes my heart race when you see them coming around, lining up to make a pass during practice.

There was a B1 flyover at the '88 Air Force/Navy game that was so low, I swear I could see individual rivets on the underside of the wing.

When I worked for the student paper at Texas A&M I was in the press box for every home game.

I've seen planes get pretty damn low and close.

I've been at 2 really good ones.

One was a B1-B at a 4th of July parade in Watertown, SD. The plane came right along the main parade route. I'm betting they made a circuit of small town parades that afternoon all over the state. The horse people were not particularly amused. Turns out horses don't much care for having jets buzz them, then add in startled riders... I didn't see any riders hit the deck, but I saw some kids on ponies looking pretty shook up.

The other one that sticks out in my mind was the Supercross World Finals out in Vegas about 5 or 6 years ago. I could see a pair of F-18's kind of circling in the distance, then the National Anthem starts, and I can see them start their approach. As they are getting closer, they are really dragging ass to get the timing right. It was one of those nose up, plowing air things. Then, just as the anthem is wrapping up, and with perfect timing, "...of theeeeee braaaave." they hit the afterburners and just roar right overhead, nice and low over the stadium. It was just awe-inspiring.

That was awesome. Flew into the stadium, and then out of the stadium. Crazy. If somebody got in trouble for the one earlier in the thread, I'm pretty sure this guy got some flack. Way cool, though.
