A few seconds later, two F-4s passed low overhead. Just as they were over the middle of the crowd, they lit their afterburners. Boom!<br /><br />"How did you know?"J4rh34dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759694044252710582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-8996128489680853982016-10-16T11:41:27.572-04:002016-10-16T11:41:27.572-04:00Man, those J-79s were smoky.
