That was you? Hahaha! Pretty impressive!
I was at the races that day. Standing next to me was a friend who also happened to be an F-18 pilot. I enjoyed the flyby and didn't think anything was out of the ordinary until my friend look up and said, "Those two guys just bought a bucket load of trouble". I always wondered how that turned out.
A few years earlier my buddy's squadron was doing some demos at an airshow up at NAS Fallon. One of the fighter guys goofed and accidentally cracked the sound barrier during a low pass over the runway (ouch!). I happened to be sitting next to the FAA guy and he really blew his top. The post flight brief took an extra half hour to accomodate all of the military and civilian ass chewing that resulted.
