hehehe...oh yes. I was enjoying my brother's birthday party with some wine, lobster bisque, and laughter galore as two jets go by. Just like Iraq in '91...uncanny. Couldn't of reproduced the experience of war any better.

Are planes aloud to fly that low in residential areas? I heard the plane but i just chalked it up to being in the city and had another cocktail. It was Friday

I was at the Eagles home opener a couple seasons back. We were sitting in the upper deck of the south end of the Linc. Coming out of the north 4-5 fighter jets buzzed just overtop the stadium much like in the youtube clip. It was an unbelieveable experience. Those planes felt like they were flying right at us and the sound was incredible. The adrenaline rush we felt just being in the stadium was already high, but when those planes flew over it took it to another level. I can't imagine what it is like to be IN those planes.

To be a geek about it, they were two F-18s.

I thought a passenger jet was crashing into south philly, but the Mr. knew them by the sound they made.

When in doubt ask a Marine.
