New I was out camping in West Virginia once.
It was probably over 10 years ago now. <sigh> We were enjoying the scenery on a hike in the mountains. There was this low rumbling noise that gradually got louder, then suddenly 2 of [link|http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/a-6.htm|these] popped over the ridge and followed the valley out of sight.

It wasn't quite what I expected...

Cheers,
Scott.

New Friends of mine who alternated between . . .
. . working hard for a couple of years and then buming around the world for a couple years were touring the U.S. Southeast in a camper. Looking for a place to sleep for the night they found a wonderful beach, and were surprised there were no other campers there even though there were no "Keep Off" signs.

Late at night, just before turning in they heard a weird high pitched metalic whining sound, getting very loud. They looked in that direction and saw lights slowly rising and seriously wondered if they were about to have a "close encounter" experience. Then all was explained (including the empty beach) as a flight of F14s passed a couple hundred feet overhead - on afterburners.
