Another totally heartstopping moment when tissues are a must-have is when they do the "missing man formation" I believe it's called? When there is a group of them flying over and one trails off and goes another way to signify the death of one of their own.

Gets me teary eyed just thinking about it.

Richard, I think you're right, part of it is knowing they're on our side - whew!

Bunny! How's your foot, glad to see you back! My mom and dad spent a winter in Arizona and they would go to the military base out there for air shows all the time. One time there was a stealth plane there. My mom speaking here..."I asked the nice looking young man if I could see inside the cockpit. He said he'd have to kill me if I did." One time we were out near White Sands, NM and we thought we saw a stealth, but we couldn't see it to be sure.
