Sparky Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Anyone else see them? Was a trio of them flew over Westerville and directly over my house pretty low around 12:15-12:30pm today. I dont know why but its always cooler seeing them doing their normal business rather than at the airshow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I didn't see them, but a local prop plane was flying over 71 this morning on my way to work maybe 20 feet in the air... it felt like it was going to land on top of my car.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I saw something on the news while at the barber shop this evening about them flying over for some ceremony. I didn't catch what for, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriers do touch-and-go's as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 they'll occasionally fly circles over Alum Creek Lake, to kill time before dispatching to their parades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with almost every aircraft, there were accidents during the early stages of R&D. That's just a fact of life. In the two years that I've worked here, I've never seen one go down. Even rode in one in Iraq. They're much faster and more versatile than the 53s, 47s, and 46s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that the Air Force is fielding these for their special operations units, right? Oh, and they didn't jump on the band wagon until AFTER we had spent all of our measly funds on getting these things built, flying, and deployed in a combat environment. Makes you wonder how much smoother things would've gone if we had the trillions of dollars that the Air Force spends annually on projects like this...
