Mo lives a few miles from the old Top Gun school. I have seen the planes fly low and have dog fights. Last week I was at my parents house and a bunch of military jets were doing the same. The afer burners were on and it sounded like the planes were going to crash into houses. :eek:

you had to be near the desert, because I live a few miles north of MCAS Miramar and they are not allowed to do any of that in the area as they are surrounded by residences. The only time you hear and see them doing anything like that is during the air show. The most noise nowadays is the helicopters transiting up the I15 corridor to Pendleton.

After the marine fighter jet augered in to a bunch of houses and killed some people here in San Diego, they don't do anything but take off and land.

all manuvers are over specific restricted airspace, far away from anyone on the ground.

the only noise I have ever heard is them doing runups, and that is on a calm night when sound travels.

You want loud? Have a Harrier come in low and slow for a landing. :eek:
I thought an A-10 was going to hit the house.

We were on the way to the airport. The pilots were idiots. They looked like they were going to hit the freeway.

I live right near Los Alamitos Joint Forces Base. They do have the fighter planes take off and land on the base on the weekends. When there is weekend exercises, you can hear the loud rumbling and see the planes take off and roll to a high position. My folks live in Rossmoor and there has been allot of complaints to the base because of low flying jets.

We get the errors too. My condo complex sits behind the old Parosol resturant. He do see stupid choppers miss their target and try to land on our buildings. One did land on our roof and we called the police. The base is no longer flying over us. :eek: :mad:

I know exactly where you are turkeyham! Parosol hasn't been there for several yrs. I'd never heard of it until last Aug. Parasol became Mel's. Seal Beach lost a good thing when Mel's closed Oct. 10 - with no notice to employees. Jet noise should halt in Rossmoor soon. Mega money in 3 million & up Rossmoor. Can't piss them off for long.

I can see it now. Some little old lady on the 10th floor yelling at her hubby, "Damn it Harold,the neighbors are playing that "Top Gun" movie too loud again". :mad:

There was a crash off of Tigertail and from then, the jets are no longer allowed to fly over Rossmoor. Also, I last heard that in College Park near Studerbaker, there is no military jets taking off from Long Beach.

The picture of the jet is cool. But to have a plane fly that close would be bad. If you had a few beers, explain that one to the police. ;)

Love that pic. When my oldest son was just a couple of years old, he used to be scared of loud noises. So... I took him to an airshow. One low 360-degree turn by an F-14 with afterburners lit was enough to cure him!
