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?

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
