ok...so the Edmonton Indy opens today and I'm guessing they have a bit of an aerial show for the opening....two f-18s just flew over my house so close that the windows rattled! Last year it was a constant air show out here.

I love military aircraft! Last time I went to an air show, they flew over a B-2 Stealth Bomber! You could not hear the roar of the engines until it was directly over your head. (Then it wasn't so much as a "Roar", but a very loud "Whoosh!")

As a kid growing up in Indiana, our house was on the military flight path for helicopters. (Probably going to and from Ft Ben.) We had every make and model flying over us.

Edmonton, were they Canadian of American F-18's? RCAF has F-18s, love the red maple leaf!

I live a few miles from Oceana Naval Air Station. While I am the son of a retired Navy man, and I love my country, and I know that they need the practice, but there is nothing worse than having to listen to touch-n-go's all afternoon and well into the evening. Your windows rattled? Try some foam weatherstripping, it has toned down what happens to my house almost weekly, sometimes multiple times during said week. I dont think it is so impressive when you live with it. Dont get me wrong, I love the sound of Jet noise, but it is a bit taxing at times...

the big base around here is Cold Lake...they have a big international war games there every year. At the northern edge of their base is a lake that is awesome for Walleye and lake trout. One day years ago we were up there fishing at the same time as they were doing some training or an air show or something, but all day long we sat in the boat and watched all kinds of military aircraft buzz the lake. It was amazing.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
