Military Fly Overs - Once while conducting operations in the north Adriatic Sea off of Italy. I was utilizing one of the exterior control stations. It was a beautiful day with just enough breeze to fully extend our U.S. flag from the staff. We got buzzed by a military fighter jet flying so low, I swear I could feel the heat from his engines. My crew said by the time I ducked he was already about a mile away. He slowed, turned came back and showed us his profile, then gave us the classic wing wave as he left the area. Probably one of our guys flying out of Aviono AF Base. Seldom did you see US flag vessels in the area. I’m sure he had spotted our’s. It was good stuff.
