So several F-16s flew over bldg 2 today, and my entire class practically had a collective heart attack. It was absurdly loud and completely unexpected. I think some people started to duck and cover. Frankly, it was a bit scary.

I think it had to do with baseball:

Hey, whatever it takes. They won, that's all that matters.

Welcome to my high school years.

My high school was right next to the flight line. On a normal day, a teacher would have to take one or two "Lakenheath pauses" per class, during which three or four F-16s would take off and speech was incomprehensible for about 30 seconds.

Yeah, when my family lived in Virginia, we were right next to an Air Force base. Terrible.
