thanks for the confirmation for the other people.


man, every once in awhile, I heard & felt the mighty roar of the F-15
Eagles as they roared over my house and backyard, landing at the
Glenview Navy Base.

Although I saw F-16 Falcons much more often. F-16s were as frequent a
sight as Navy F-14 Tomcats and F/A-18 Hornets, coming into Glenview,
circling around, or maybe taking off.

I think I remember an F-117 Nighthawk Stealth fighter over Glenview.
don't know if it was taking off or landing at GNAS, but I'm pretty sure
I saw the Stealth at least once or twice. it was most likely the early
1990s. maybe Gulf War related activity. dunno.


but my most fond memory......

one particular day in the 1980s, maybe on Armed Forces Day (not sure)
..........
an F-15 Eagle came *screaming* in, doing rapid barrel rolls over my
yard as it headed in the direction of GNAS....not the typical approach
that USAF and Navy jets usually did.

I will NEVER forget that.
