Buzzed by a C-17 today
Now there's something I don't see everyday.
I was working in my garage when when that bad*ss flew overhead - I'd say about 1500 AGL headed west - flaps down, gear up. I turned on my handheld scanner and a few minutes later I heard the words "... we're departing to the east, so we'll get out of your hair." Sure enough, here it comes going the other way.
I just now read in the news it was doing a low flyover at SDSU for a fallen soldier ceremony.
