#4  40,000 lb of ordinance, Frank. As much as an L100-30 Herc they use up here flying out to bush Alaska. Not quite the 70K load of a B-52, though.

#2  A couple of years back we're at a cookout on July 4th and look what makes a pass over the house. It'd done the flyover at the Esplanade concert and we were on the flight path on the way out. About 2000 ft. Jaw dropping.
