House buzzed by Air Force Jets

3 Air Force Jets flying over my house....it gets loud so you might want to turn your volume down if you watch this. I lost my balance as the 3rd one flew over.

Buzzed? I guess it depends on your definition of buzzed. I'd call that easing in on a pretty tame glide path. If they wanted to buzz you, they'd come in fast and low. If they were 400-700mph or so, the sound would be upon you about the same time they were overhead. Once they break the sound barrier, you'd really know you had been buzzed. Then you would probably be dizzy and have soiled underwear.

I'd sit out in a chase lounge and watch them all day, what a fabulous piece of hardware!

They're F-18's. That's the Navy or Marines buzzing yo' crib, not the AF.
I live not far from McGuire AFB, I get to see some cool stuff from time to time

Yep

I'm right under the landing circuit for one of the main runways at McGuire AFB. Most of the time when we get a flyover they're at least 1000' up. Occasionally it's hella lower than that - close enough to read the tail numbers with ease

Kinda cool when it's a fighter or a Warthog going over. More than a little nerve-wracking when it's a C-17........

C-17 are nuts. They're still pretty high when near me but they seem to be going so slow that they're going to just drop out of the sky any minute, freaky stuff.

The Alabama National Guard used to fly at "tree top" level years ago (back when they flew F-4's.) You'd catch a glimpse of something in the corner of your eye and then a deafening noise that scared the crap outta you. Sometimes, you would be lucky enough to see them before the noise made it to you. It gave you just enough time to cover your ears. I think they were made to stop this practice.

~20 years ago I was hanging out at the Coney Island shore when a Harrier Jump Jet buzzed the beach. It was by far the coolest thing I think I've ever witnessed: This guy comes hauling azz from south to north parallel to the beach, maybe 200 yards offshore at an altitude of ~400 yards

...and comes to a dead stop (!)







...then slowly lowers the plane straight down until it's maybe 5 yards off the surface of the ocean (which by now is a roiling, churning morass)

...and then BAM! accelerates skyward at a >45° angle so fast that he was out of site within 15 seconds.

Teh entire beach was silent for a moment, then broke out in a thunderous ovation.

I love seein' that stuff. God Bless the USA

Cool, they were probably just flying in low to confirm the Satellite surveillance photo's of the last six months. The Black Helicopters will be next.
