I got buzzed!!!
I've had the opportunity to do low level flight as well as air to air and
air to ground training in the Falls MOA in F-16's.
There's nothing like hearing that 20mm Vulcan cannon going off a few feet
from your head! Of course, most of the air to air training consists of
missile launches beyond visual range, but there's also nothing like air to
air combat on the merge. Pulling sustained 8-9g turns while trying to
maintain visual contact with closure rates of over 1,000 knots- talk about
getting a sore neck!
