the head of our homecomeing parade is a pair of f15 eagles follwed by a f16 then 2 A10 thunder bolts with an appache gunship bringing up the rear. Riddle was able to get alumni in the military to fly in their military hardware to show students for homecomeing (its a a good way to get you to end youre life for four years and join the military). The F15 eagle pilots were having fun over riddle at about 50 feet off the ground doing tail slips with the afterburner on. the power of those engines is incredible. you could see the massive jet plum bright blue in clear daylight. hopefully it will go super sonic. the apache helicopter pilot had a grudge to setle with campus security and chased it around the campus. now what would you do if your walkning to class and a attack helicopter passes over head at 20 feet? me i just droll at the wonderous toy. saturday their letting students get close to the aircraft, i hope my pants stay dry.
