Iattended a "Military Appreciation" day at Peterson Field in Co Spgs several years ago--this is a day when the military shows it's appreciation to the public living in the CoSpgs area--The Springs is surrounded by military facilities, AFA, Ft Carson, Pete Field, Cheyenne Mtn., AF Aerospace command, etc. .
This is a free event, no cover charge, lots of military hardware, you could get into an M1-A1 or Humvee or Bradley, tour the C-5, or C-30 walk around the jets. There was a jet there F-18? with all it's armament capability displayed in front of it.
The hi-lights of the show were the WWII planes of the then Confederate AF, and the program they put on, and the Navy Blue Angels.

We were sitting on the viewing stands watching the Bue Angels do their routine, they did the Starburst, all six planes coming in from different directions, broke away, then the planes came in again doing other stunts---except for the one that looped over the stands and headed north. I tried to follow him but he disappeared to fast. The crowd is watching the other 5 doing their routine--listening to the announcer--I'm going where is that guy?
I'm looking behind us, and spot this dot, in about a heartbeat this jet came about a 100' over the top of the hanger going balls to the wall--when it passed over the bleachers ,people screamed, shock, near panic---couldn't hear it coming---absolutely rattled you, once it passed overhead ,the announcer said "And that's as much warning as our enemies will get", then like "lets hear for our Armed forces", and the show was over.

Now that was a good low pass. I have done a few in my time but never that low.
