Thinking about it while reading this thread, I have heard a lot of stuff between all the AFBs, Cape Canaveral, Ft. Hood, all the aerospace/defense companies, and now SpaceX. happy8

Cast those planes were from Sheppard or some place else. Barksdale didn't have any that would fly that fast.

Yep, I can also remember the bold pilots out of Sheppard AFB flying the hills around our place. Sometimes you could see the rivets on the sheet metal.

Summer on the farm back in the late 60's they would fly a pattern in the afternoon and you would hear them every now and then.

Those bold pilots were trainees. If you knew that back then it might have scared you. Sheppard is a training base. Back then they flew T-37's and T-38's. 37's couldn't break the barrier but 38's could.
