bit nervous

[Lloyd Smale]

walked outside and heard the roar of a plane. a big turbo prop airforce plane like the ones that are heavely armed gunships came over the house from lake superior at about twice tree top high and made a sharp turn east and disappeared. used to be use to air force planes back before they closed the sac base about 20 years ago. got to wonder where it was heading in such a hurry. maybe toward ironglow

No need to be.
The way I understand from people I've known
who are in the know getting a gubmint check
if they fling any serious stuff,  it's supposed to
flatten everything in a 70 mile radius, and contaminate
and flashburn for many more miles.
I also understand that unless you're many many
feet underground, the shock alone will scramble
you like a milkshake.
The ones to worry about are the LARPers, and
the cul-de-sac commandos that will shoot at
whatever they see.
The Mad Max /The Road/ Book of Eli/ Gen Bethlehem/
Deacon/ etc. narcissist warlord organized renegade
types are who we'll need to worry about.

Most would be better off learning to effectively hide
and let the numerically superior hostiles move along
rather than try to outdo them

I'm 80 years old,  have lived a full life and have at least a half dozen things going on inside me anyone of which can and I guess eventually will kill me to include cancer. I have no fear. I'm as prepared to meet my end as I can be so I just do not fear what might come.

[Ranger99]

Won't do any good to be fearful.
Caution never hurts anything though

Same here Bill. They've ran every test available trying to find out why I've lost almost 50 lbs in about 8 months. Got down to a colonoscopy and I called a halt to that. Wife and her family started saying; What if you have colon cancer? Well, let's see.They could take out some or all of my colon, and I could enjoy months of being sick from radiation, and chemotherapy, Or, I could be thankful for the 75 years of the good life I've had, and call it a day. I've chosen the latter of the 2, and the truth is, I actually don't feel bad, I'm just startin to look like a buggy whip.

Not saying it will help, but if you have nothing to lose. I saw a interview with Tucker Carlson with the inventor of bioshield. Interesting and long interview, the guy is a genius and just do a search on him if ya like. I thought he was genuine… Patrick Soon-Shiong

     11 years ago, I was standing by the garage and heard aircraft engines, loud but odd and stepped out to look.
Almost directly over hear were two U.S. Navy Orion P-3 aircraft approx. 500ft. feet up banking very hard to their Port side.

     Interesting but over my 72 years about once a decade, U.S. military aircraft use my home town as their turning point at very low attitude.
When it was jets, it was loud, very loud.

 Nope!  ..didn't see them, although a bout 2 weeks ago a trio of big, yellow chinook choppers flew over my hoius..couldn't have been much more than the required 500 feet !

  A younger friend who has a number of health problems, spoke on FB the other day saying,....

   " Better enjoy your years between 30 and 50...because after that, the 'check engine', light starts blinking !"...

Over the 90-day summers in my 1960 (7-yr old) youth through 1972 (19 yr old) teens I "owned" my grandparent's 105-acre lake due south of the, then, Naval Training Center, Sanford, FL, where pilots learned the basics of Aircraft Carrier touch-and-go (T&G) landings. F-4 Phantom, F-105 Thunderchief, and other Vietman era jet aircraft spent their days circling the lake in queue for the pilot's next turn at T&G on the airport's runway.

I perpetually swam and fished that lake in daylight, happy as a clam, to the visual and auditory display of live jet fighters circling overhead.

Today, I live in the vicinity of TICO Airport at NASA Causeway and US1, near Titusville, FL. The Titusville Warbird Museum is housed there and many remaining P51 Mustangs fly in there annually to show off, make noise (you gotta love tree top level passes and those engines!), and bring flying nostalgia back to life for an adoring public.

found out it was the down state air national guard doing training. my house was probably obliterated in their simulation

  Until a couple years ago, I used to get very low overhead, weekly visits by some of those big buggers (C-130 Hercules). They used to use the nearby lake as a turning point..flying from Niagara Falls AirBbase..turning at the lake and flying back.

    Now i hear they have changed to Strato-tankers, and I see these on rare occasions.  So, now I wonder if they topped off the B2s as the passed over on their way to Iran..

I remember as a kid jets flying over at low altitude, and breaking the sound barrier which would rattle the dishes in the kitchen cupboards. Only happened a few times when I was a young kid, and remember thinking how awesome it was. A lifetime dream of mine was to go for a ride in a fighter jet.

i lived about 3 miles straight off the main runway at the base. b52s took off and things would shake, tankers would really make them shake, when they had an alert and would launch 4 or tankers one after another things would come crashing off of shelves. sonic booms from fighters happened many times a day. funny how you could tune it out. i think if my front door knob turned today it would wake me. back then a tanker or two launching at night didnt even make me turn over in bed and i woke mornings some days with things on the floor from it. heck we didnt even look up when a b52 was flying low over the town. that gun ship was impressive though. it sounded like thunder and you could feel it in your chest. that big plane making such a hard turn with those guns hanging out would put the fear of God in anyone with a brain. it was like watching an elephant running and turning like a cheetah
