Stripersnpr - looks like they would have been sniping some stripers had you not moved - in fact, you probably cost the tax payers 3 grand in gas for them to go around

I was buzzed once before by Luftwaffe Tornados and Phantoms when I was in Germany. Certainly got your attention
Thats exactly it John. When the first A-10 came by waving his wings in a non-threatening way I asked my father if they were telling us to leave. He said "no, you'll know if they want us to leave". He was right.
