3 months ago, no, but I have seen it a bunch of times in many different places:D

I truely do appreciate natural flotation devices.

By the way, if your close to the Lynnhaven mall, your not to far from me. I'm over near Newtown and VB Blvd area.

I'm ex-CG also. Hornet is right, you don't go out on a weather deck in a storm unless it's an emergency. I have almost as much time walking on bulkheads as I do on deck. I think I might qualify for NASA with all my time spent weightless in the paint locker.

Arlington but I've spent a lot of time in Alvord and Decatur on a friends land back a lifetime or so ago.

Glad you didn't get hit too hard. I think we might be in for a nasty April / May.

I'm across from Holland Elementary School

But, 3 months ago I was out with friends on their sailboat, and a Coast Guard boat passed us tooting at us LOL I guess either they liked the bikinis or they were hoeing we were topless (some of us were)

Yeah your about 6-7 miles from me. How's the jet noise??? Gotten any worse since the Super Hornets moved in??

Just got home from work. Heard we had a possible tornado near Lake Bridgeport. About 5 a squall line hit and it was tough. Must have rained 2-3 inches in just a few minutes with 30-40 mph winds. 2 bridges were underwater and several roads flooded out in Bridgeport. We need the rain bigtime. The lake was 18 feet low last Sunday. It's so low they are finding old WW2 muntions from when it was a test range.

Remember those nice 68 degree days we had, back in Jan?

Oh the jet noise really hasn't changed that much here, I see them I hear them, late at night I can hear a real low sound coming from over that way,but nothing really bad, now the people living in Cardinal estates hate life with the new jets, I have a friend on Hawk avenue that says she can't even watch tv when they fly over and late at night the engines running will make you deaf.

hey hornet..can u tell those jets to keep it down when they fly over our house at almost top speed about 3-4 times a year:furious

Hornet33 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 31, 2007, 12:44:13 AM »

Aw man.....that's the sound of Freedom!!!!!!!! Now if you want noisey try living on an AFB in the early 80's with a bunch of SAC alert KC-135A's. They'd launch those things all hours of the night and with the water injection they would rattle windows for miles around the base. Not to mention the C-141's and C-5's flying around the clock.

But even if I was in the Navy and I'm not, thank God, I don't think air opps would listen to me if I told them to keep it down. I'm only an E6 for Christs sake:D

i just dont like the fly 3 feet above the trees at full blast part of it:furious

When I was growing up in Oklahoma, every now and then my dad and I would go fishing at Foss Lake and a couple of time we had B1's come screaming over the lake at about 200ft. My dad said Foss was a check point for the B1's out of Dyess AFB on their low level training runs. It was awsome to see those things come in. You wouldn't hear them until they were right on top of you. Saw a B-52 making a run there 1 time and that was real cool to see.
