• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

just how close do you want to be

That's cool as beans. Thanks for posting.
I have Airforce aircraft that pass about 200 feet over my house. They are doing training runs from somewhere? Had a fighter trainer lay it over, left wing tip down, as he passed over head. I think he saw me standing outside. It was really cool!
They use Hogjowl Airport as a turning point, that's about a mile East of me.
 
:dontknow:Wont load for me says video is set for private?:lecturef_smilie::dontknow::lecturef_smilie::gaah: Saw what looked like low flying F-14 in load screen b4 message. :banghead: Sure was cool maybe it will work later?
 
Worked for me. That is the 493rd. Grim reapers from the 48th Fighter wing based in RAF Lakenheath, UK. My old outfit. That is called the Mach Loop and is in Wales.

We use to do that same run in the F111F.
 
Very cool, we live about 20 miles as the B1 bomber flies from Ellsworth AFB and get to watch them fly over quite often. A few years ago they had B52's doing touch and goes and would level off over I90 and then floor it. The first time I witnessed it they came from behind me and I didn't know it was there until I felt and heard the roar. I thought my truck was falling apart until it passed me.
 
I believe this one got a little too close


Fast forward to around 2 minutes and watch closely.......very poor quality on board camera video......but you will get the idea.
 
sitting is a deer stand (about twenty feet off the ground) back in the early 80's (in upstate ny) just before daybreak, when a stealth fighter flew over at about 200 feet. having never seen one before I thought I was in a star wars flick. seems they were doing night training missions out of griffiss air force base in rome ny. a few years later, when they introduced them in dessert storm, I finally realized what I had seen. needless to say it scared off all the deer within ten miles!!!
