My in-laws live in central KS on the edge of a small town. They have a large house on a hill, and it's open around the house so it stands out from the air. We noticed that the fighters that practice in the area often would break and cross just over their house. Also noticed that the B-1s and B-52s that practiced in the area would make a turn to the north right over their home. Talking to a B-2 crew member at the McConnell air-show last year, it turns out that they use the house as a landmark when practicing bombing runs!  |
Yup, my office was destroyed several times a day from the A-10s doing fast attack runs. I always wanted to mount a laser detector on top of one of the telescope domes, to see exactly how often they lit us up
I also had an A-10 decimate my truck with 30mm fire once while driving down the mountain, the bastard had me locked in and swooped across the road right over the deck about 50 feet in front of me at full throttle...it took everything for me to not drive off the road!
