Very cool. The thunderbirds did one over vegas a couple of weeks ago, while I was sitting out there on reserve and they came right over us.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like they will be real close to me in New Hyde Park

I wish I could post a video! They went directly over my house at a few hundred feet with smoke on. Amazing! Stony Brook Hospital is about a 5 minute drive from my house. I’ll post a screen shot.

You can. Sort of. Post it on YouTube and then post the link here. Pretty sure you can set it on YouTube so only those with the link can view It, but not 100% on that.

I’ll try to give it a shot later.

Can also use Google Drive the same way. For sure with that you can set it to private and only the link gets you in and only to vid , none of the rest.

@aero3113 - They look inverted. Were they doing rolls and other maneuvers?  Much cooler than just a flyover.

It just so happened that they flew over the hospital then started a turn right over my house. I couldn’t have been in a better spot!

Each year during the Chicago Air and Water show they come screaming over our house. I couldn't even imagine how terrifying it is to hear and see something like that coming at you during actual warfare.

I know couldn’t imagine! We were so involved at looking at them, once they flew over we turned around and our 2 year old daughter had her hands over her ears with the look of fear in her eyes! She didn’t cry though!! We were laughing.

Found it on my ring doorbell video, hope it works.

Nice. They seemed to be cruising at higher altitude by me. Nice shot

It's too bad we couldn't see your daughter's face. I bet it was priceless.

I was working an Air Force base in the top end of Australia in 88 when they brought in the F/A-18 squadron to be based there for a trail run. Flew low right over my site office, I thought it was going to blow out!. Glorious sound of 6 ‘18’s about 100’ overhead.

I also got to fly the sim which was a total buzz. Best $26M video game I ever played.

Blue Angels just flew over Chicago. Went to our park and shot some video of them going down the lakefront over Soldier Field...
