Ain't that the truth!

Ive seen some vid of a couple guys in a cessna trying to get a peak at area51, they videoed a couple of F15's taking off and buzzing them VERY close. They left after that

what the deal was....a buddy of ours has ties to the Nebraska Air National Guard Unit , which is a refueliing unit......and by far the best in the USAF. They have this program where they take people up on rrefueling missions. Well when the call came I just had to go serve this great country of ours in any way possible being the Great Patriot that I am. Well we got to fly up to the Sioux City/ Sioux Falls area and refuel 6 F16s. What more could a guy ask for. everyone out there should check out the guard unit in their area and see what they are up to and what it will take to tag along on a mission. You will be sorry if you don't at least ask.....

Default F16's

I had two F-16's buzz my house yesterday at less than 1000 ft. (I live in the country). About ten minutes later they came back by. It was so cool. Must be a air show in town.

Laugh all you want. I'm just wondering what the "G" in G-man stands for.

I've probably done more things with military aircraft then you guys ever will and i'm a civilian. (my dad is in the RCAF)

Aircraft i've flown in:

-Douglas DC-3 (CC-129) Dakota
-Bell CH-135 Twin Huey
-Bell CH-136 Kiowa
-CC-144 Challenger
-CT-142 Dash 8
-CH-146 Griffon
-CC-130 Hercules

Those are just Candian airforce aircraft the I have flown in but i have actually been in more but not flown in them.

You mean they were escorted from the area and then prosecuted for busting restricted airspace.

I know from experience...those boys at LSV ain't playin' no games........

I dont know what happened afterwards. It was on the history channel about area51 a few days ago. They didnt say anything about getting in trouble, as they did not penetrate any restricted airspace, just skirted it, chart in hand and checking it constantly to be sure to be out of the airspace.
