First off, what a treat that must have been!!!! Secondly, I like how the pilot flew off center to the plane and person. Shows good thinking and situational awareness if you ask me.
I was standing by a deserted highway in central Nevada stretching when two F4s came up behind me in burner at perhaps a hundred feet. They got me good!
I was standing on top of a 12 12 pitched tin roof when an F-4 came over me at about 20' in burner. Had to be near the speed of sound since I did not hear it coming from behind me. Odd cold feeling in the air until overhead and then the glorious sound. Had to freeze position to avoid falling.
Sorry, meant to say 200'.
Route 50, A little East of Fallon.???
Nice show - however, not too many around who can remember the sound signature of a single R-3350 at full 72" water-injection MAP, on an A-1J Skyraider, carrying it's own weight in ordnance, and the 13.5 foot prop clearing the way. It's primal.
