A RUMBLE FROM ABOVE....

Sometimes we have experiences in life that we will remember forever, and this is one of them. While out having a ball driving on the Marine Range, Paul was driving the RZR fast...when we heard a huge noise. I can't describe the noise, it was so loud and encompassed us from all sides, it scared me half to death. This noise was so loud, the RZR trembled and shook. Paul had just stepped down on the throttle and thought something had gone very wrong with the 4 wheeler. I wondered quickly if we had found one of the "unexploded ordnances" we had been warned about on this range. I looked in front of the RZR and saw a once in a lifetime sight: we had just been divebombed by an F 15 fighter jet!! He had dropped down onto us, then lifted rapidly, as he rolled to the right. We were looking right into his afterburner!!! My terror turned to amazement and wild laughter as I realized what had just happened. I wish there was a way I could tell that pilot how he made our day. We will never forget the sight of that glowing afterburner!
