Photobombed by an F-18

An F-18 photobombs campers in Death Valley National Park Tuesday morning. The first one which passes by gets your attention, the second one comes at you from behind at close to the speed of sound, so you won't hear it coming!

  • The military is starting to use the national parks as weapons test sites. They are testing electronic warfare devices in Olympic National Park without regard to the negative effects on wildlife.

  • Thanks Jeff, this is awesome. Would you allow me to use this with attribution in a compilation video I"ll be putting together of our trip? I didn't get a clear video of the jets but the soundtrack came in loud and clear...emphasis on the loud.

  • Nothing like driving through Death Valley and one jets flys directly at you while another comes from a different direction and scares the crap out of you.

  • Last week I was there and the same thing two of them but they were not the same the wings were different.

  • Marc, I'll try to connect with you on FB to send you some files once my Internet service is back up.

  • Thanks Jeff. We're flying home tonight and I'll have better internet myself this weekend. Hope the rest of your expedition was fruitful.
