I have posted about see it doing maneuvers before but this was just straight up hammer fucking down. I am not exaggerating about the height either he went till I could not see him, and there was no ceiling this morning.
I do remember driving down Cobb Parkway a few times and seeing the raptor with a few F-16 chase planes...I guess I am sort of used to it because I used to be in the Air Force and when I was at Eglin AFB,FL I saw a new F-15 Strike Eagle shooting it's armament into a sand container to test and see if i worked....It was sooo cool...because the Strike Eagle is a darker color paint than the A-D models. The Raptor does rock though...Man, I sure do miss being in the AF and the Guard for 13 years...great memories. I am in Kauai now at this place....www.pmrf.navy.mil.
