On the farm we had fighters from Fallon and Whidbey Island train for low-level flights that used our fields for practice. They’d pop up on the breaks of the canyon (we overlook Columbia River, Lake Roosevelt) and fly by the tractor so I could see the face in the cockpit. It was so cool to get a private air show while working the fields, and made me feel more comfortable knowing that we had people who can fly like that. This is 50 years ago, I can only assume that they still use the breaks of the canyon for pop ups.

They use to do that here too. play cat and mouse with F-4 and 52's then came the F16's going after 52's and B1's. We were working in the country in an orange digger derrick truck. I was in the bucket 25Ft up, the boss and 3erd crew member on the ground. I knew that F4 pilot was using us for a target. He flew over the truck and hit the afterburners, I did see him coming but not the guys on the ground, they ended up face down in the ditch and I almost fell out of the bucket laughing.

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. - it’s much warmer here in Arizona. I remember Washington winters, when Chinooks (a weather phenomenon, not the people), would bring in cold air from Canada combined with crystal clear skies that we called, “space cold”. We had an old thermometer outside, it was often well below zero during these events, for long periods of time. We hoped for snow on the ground, so the plants wouldn’t freeze.
