I know what you mean. I was working at a power plant in Boardman, Oregon, that had it's own exit off I-84 and a 9 mile private driveway through a Navy bombing range.

They would fly up the Columbia River from the coast, very low between the hills on either side of the river, then make runs at the range very low and very fast. In the old days they'd drop dummy bombs, but by this time it was laser shots at electronic targets.

It was fun to watch, although it probably would have been better with explosions and shit. I often wondered what it would look like if the clipped one of the 550,000 volt outgoing lines.

But driving in the driveway they came up from behind, you couldn't hear them until they were a couple hundred feet directly above you... that's a butt clencher.
