Ok, you guys are the few that will appreciate this, so i just had to tell 
you all.   I was on the Hill AFB, in Utah today.  While I was there about 
24 F-16s were landing and taking off, doing "touch and go's" and i got a 
great place to watch them.  I was right on the end of the flightline so 
when the a/c were landing they were about 40 feet over my head.   It was 
AWESOME.   I could plainly see the pilot's face.  I then went to the side 
of the strip and watched them take -off.   VERY COOL.   The runway is 
situated on a little hill.  At one of the runway the hill slopes down a 
little so when the jets are landing they are no more than 40 feet 
overhead.  Did I have my camera 
today.............NOoooooooooooooooooooooo.  ugggggggggggggggggg.   I'll 
never go on base again with out that camera.  hehehehe
