Wow, wish I could've seen 'em! I love watching them fly over.

Something flew over pretty low near the east end of the bay about 5:45 this morning too. I'm used to stuff so I hardly ever pay attention, but I paid attention to this one.
Did Tyndall hold their air show over the weekend? I thought it was last weekend...

That is one thing I do miss about living in SoWal. I loved seeing and hearing all the flyby's....

I love seeing that stuff. Those would have been F-15's. F-14's were Navy planes and have all been retired.
I still like seeing the big CH-53's helicopters out of Hurlburt and the A-10's that operate out of Eglin. I still haven't seen a hovercraft but have seen an Osprey...finally!

and about once a month, the Coast Guard flies what looks like a small corporate jet right up the beach at about 150 feet. I just saw my first hovercraft about a month ago. Every now and then, there will be a pair of small, single-engined turboprops that I guess are some kind of trainer.
Thanks for the correction on the F-15. They've got a lot of them at Eglin. I counted 35 or so sitting on the ground when my AA flight taxied in at VPS on Friday.

The Coasties will fly really really low to the water when they're doing search and rescue sweeps. Pretty impressive to watch.
On occasion, the AF reserves will train on the beach between Okasloosa Island and Navarre Beach by firing off Patriot missles from there.

They frequently do fly-bys from Dobbins AFB at Georgia Tech games. I love it -- I always cry.

Those are Dassault Falcon jets...
