Then what you want to do is stand on your roof with a scoped rifle to get a better look. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

lawrocket 3 #5 December 7, 2004 It's likely practicing a flyby for an upcoming game at the Murph. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #7 December 7, 2004 Quotenope, the prez is in town. why would a practice flight have missles on board? When two Navy fighters (an F-14 and an F-4) buzzed downtown LA for 45 minutes in August, 2002, they appeared to carry munitions. Scared a bunch of people shitless in downtown. They were practicing flybys of Dodger Stadium for opening day. Yeah, POTUS. It slipped my attention in your post. My wife is hotter than your wife.

FlyingJ 0 #8 December 7, 2004 That was one of the eerie things living in NYC right after Sept. 11. You could always hear the jets flying, but it was totally different on a clear day when you could see them. I lived in the flight path to La Guardia so I think half the strangeness came from the lack of regular air travel. It seemed so quiet. Speaking of stadium fly byes...a friend of mine just about wet himself when 4 F-16s (I think) did a flyby right over his apartment building on their way to Yankee stadium. That was one funny phone call because I had just watched the flyby on tv and he thought he was under attack. He was so mad at me that I let him go on and on speculating about what it was for about 30 minutes before I told him about the stadium. Killing threads since 2004.

Viking 0 #10 December 7, 2004 i saw the plane through a pair of 16x50 bino's. I know the difference between fuel tanks and dumb bombs, and between munitions rails and the tail and nose fins of a missle.

Dumpster 0 #13 December 7, 2004 The missles may have been inert - I take it the plane was flying solo? That would different - Most of the time they fly in pairs at least. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LearningTOfly 0 #15 December 7, 2004 Why would the missles be inert? If a pesky Cessna blunders into the airspace (restricted) then I'm sure that the air force jocks will want to do a bit more than waggle their wings and yell 'banzai'. And besides, what if a real threat really does appear... that'd be embarassing.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #16 December 7, 2004 Didn't realize Bush was in your town - Then I doubt the missles would be inert. I still wonder why no wing man though. I think those pesky Cessnas could be easily dispatched with some of that tasty 20mm cannon fire, though. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,417 #22 December 8, 2004 I was in a meeting today and four blue helicopters flew over enroute to Miramar; they flew over our building at about 1000 feet (not unusual; we seem to be a reporting point for inbound marine helicopters.) About half an hour later Air Force One took off, turned, and flew right over us again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
