Jake Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I realize this is a long shot, but does anyone have any decent pictures of Navy or various Air Force jets flying through the mountains? I always see 'em, but never have a chance to get a picture off. I've always thought it would be sweet to have a shot like that for a background or something.

Skeezix Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Whidbey Island NAS ought to change their motto from "Pardon our noise--it's the sound of freedom." to "Pardon our noise--it's the sound of arrogance." I've seen big four-engine jets fly through Cascade Pass below the level of the summit of Sahale. Totally illegal and inappropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I've seen them come screaming through the gap Between Suiattle and Cloudy pass at a very low level as well. I felt like i could spit on the thing.

Â If its big and has four engines, you may want to talk to the guys flying C-17s from McChord. Seems stupid to me to be worried about the military getting in some low level training. Seeing those guys rip through the valleys always makes my day! I can't believe a little noise for a few seconds totally destroys your "wildernes experience."

Plinko Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I bet you wouldn't say that if you were crossing under some sketch wind loaded slope just as the roar of the jet hits! I saw the movie K2, I know how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManRock Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I was setting up a belay at the Birds Nest on the West Ridge of Washington when two jet fighters went screaming by. I felt I could have placed a piton (This was back in those days) on the wing tip they were so close - While the West Ridge is fairly solid rock, it wiggled.....
