robertjoy Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 While spending a few days in the Lemah Valley/Spectacle Lake area we were awesomely shocked by the daily flyby of a jet fighter. It was really low. My estimate is that it was maybe 300ft above Pete Lake. We saw it twice, and the second time we were on the PCT at about 3800ft, and it was well below us. Is this standard procedure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Send a pm to Trent...He has some knowledge of the flight patterns of those crazy Oak Harbor Fly Boys. I believe that area is on one of the EA-6 regular routes...the usual aircraft I've seen very low in the Cascades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle_Flick Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Last week we were up on Bears Breast and later Summit Chief and encountered the same thing as you did--numerous low flying jets swinging around the local peaks, e.g., flying between Chimney Rock and Lemah as well as Daniel and Hinman. It seemed the maneauvers were to practice flying below the radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
