As me family would say, it's always t' one you least expect.

Just got flown over by a very low flying bomber. I think (hope!) that they are just practicing for later today. Kindof spooky, though also pretty cool. Of course, I have no idea what model it was. Very wide wingspan, two engines under the wings. Gonna have to look it up later.
The entire city of Lakewood was just shaken by some sort of flyover from the Ohio State - Toledo game at Browns Stadium. I am guessing ANG F-16s from TOL, but unfortunately I was in the post office and did not see them. I did see a lot of people get darn nervous wondering what the heck was happening!

Just a thought! :D

Hmmm other ideas?

It was the B-1B. I mistook the twin pods for twin engines. And the wingspan might not be that huge, but it was definitely able to adjust and it looks a lot bigger when it is very low. I'm guessing they were flying no higher that 1000 feet.

I'm sure I'll see it again at the game later this afternoon to confirm.

Go Gators!

In recent years (up until around 5 years ago) the 733/735/73S fleet did have backward facing seats, but I never saw one with the actual lounge tables.

Isn't she the shrink on Two and a Half Men? If so, I have to put Glee on the list.

So true, but give me a BUFF any day of the week. We got a LOW flyover at the Cleveland Air Show in the early 90s and it set car alarms off for miles. :D
