There was a cloud cover so they were doing a low altitude practice.

They were totally insane and scared the crap out of me it was so amazing.

Keep in mind I am a USAF brat and lived next to flight lines and runways growing up.
And watched young hotdog pilots do their thing.

If I were the enemy and saw the BA coming after me I would surrender on the spot.
