We were on Lake Georgetown in May a few years back and it happened to be during the Georgetown Air Show. A B-17 was circling the lake about 300-400 ft above biding its time to fly over the show. That was cool to see.

Then we heard a different sound and looked up to find a couple of Zeros coming over us from the east. We were the only boat on the main part of the lake and the Zeros lined up on us. They swooped down and flew over less than 150ft. They were there for the Pearl Harbor reenactment at the air show. That was cool. They then turned and lined up on us again from the west. My buddy, who is a WW2 nut, jumped on the back seat and readied his AA and started pumping his arms as an AA gun would do as the Zeros flew over. One of the Zeros let out smoke and then tipped his wing. That was awesome!

We got buzzed by a couple of A10's on Toledo Bend a couple years ago. Looked like they were going on a bombing run and we were the target. Very cool.

This has happened to me at Toledo Bend many times and I loved it. I would jump up and down and wave. Had some that were so low I could see them wave back.

Years ago I was diving on the shipwreck "Milwaukee" off of northern shore Milwaukee. I came up from my first dive and my bubbies were there to help me get in the boat. All of a sudden their eyes got REAL big and they ducked a little. I think it was four Blue Angles flew right over our heads. Talk about loud! Everything was vibrating including the lake around us.

Turns out they were doing an air show for "Summerfest" festival which was right off of Lake Michigan. We ere on their turnaround path so we got to see them several more times. A couple tipped their wings to us. Pretty cool to see.

beat me to it.
if you hang out on the north end of TB you will randomly get buzzed by some fast moving jets.
above my pay grade to identify them, but it's pretty cool.

Cool story!

I was out on Lake Travis last weekend and a giant M Series Malibu boat slowly moved by my Basscat. Lurking on the back deck was a beautiful pair of Double D's slowly bouncing to the movement of the waves. I was moved. Several inches!

Years ago I was on a lease just outside 0f Pidcoke Texas. I walked down to Bee House creek to see if I get a shot at a turkey. I heard a helicopter that sounded like it was getting closer and closer. It was an Apache, black Hawk, or some assault helicopter flying about 50 feet over the water and it flew right by me. I was very impressed! Ft. Hood was close by. At night, we could hear artillery, and occasionally, an explosion that would rattle the windows and metal siding of our cabin. I couldn't differentiate thunder from artillery. A cool experience.


Biden famously said in the New York Observer, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
