The valley in which we live has once interesting quirk: we are in the flyover path for Air Force Academy celebration flyovers. This morning, the familiar sound of jet engines directly overhead on a practice run had Jack and I wondering about just when the graduation ceremonies are going to take place this week. According to this KRDO News 13 story, this year’s AFA graduation is Wednesday and the Thunderbirds will be performing.
Sometimes they fly so close overhead that one expects to read the numbers on the fusilage. It happens just often enough to be exciting, and not so often that I get tired of seeing them (and being pummeled by the noise.)
They were performing down here this afternoon — VERY LOUD.
