F-18s. low ceilings, and wimpy cats just don't mix.

that's interesting: I live right next to Moffett (KNUQ)
and my cat has no problem with any of aircraft that we
have seen and heard operate there (C130, blackhawks,
various training jets, transports, even the B17 and B25
which were flying around there recently, etc.) *except* for
the F18s specifically (the cat runs for cover)... may
be we found a low tech way of identifying aircraft types :-)
