We were fishing about 40 miles offshore off Oregon Inlet...  It was us and about 3-4 miles away was another fishing vessel...  All of the sudden F16 flies maybe 40 feet above our heads and does crazy poo... Does loop and flies above the other boat...  Right after he passed our boat he turned on afterburners...  Then he just took off straight up at around 75* angle...  Scared the poo out of us.  Imaging drinking beer in the middle of a fuging ocean... relaxed... and the next thing you see is F16 above your head and extremely load noise of afterburners...  Almost poo my pants.

There is nothing I've ever experienced as the earth shattering sound of a fighter jet up close. It's an impossible noise that seems otherworldly.

Growing up, I used to go fishing out in the Delaware Bay and Dover Air Force Base was just on the other side. All kinds of fighter jets and bombers would fly over all day long. It was cool to watch. 

One day, a fighter jet broke the sound barrier over the bay creating a sonic boom that was unlike anything I have ever heard/felt. A guy fishing close to us died of a heart attack and his wife went after the Air Force for it. Not sure what ever came of it though.

there's a little lake in Northern Alberta called Christina Lake and it's right at the northern edge of the Cold Lake air base...we had a private show like this a few years back and it was awesome...all kinds of planes coming over at low altitude and high speed.

Happens quite a bit offshore in Eastern NC.

I have fished out there most of my life, and that's where they go to do all kinds of crazy stuff.

Along time ago when a Jet fighter pilot from our squadron was being reassigned to the Koren field of battle he would buzz our airbase that way. If you were working on the flight line and not looking around it would literally scare the hell out of you. What were they going to do to the pilot? ground him and not send him to Korea? So.. it was overlooked.

You positive it was a F16?

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
