Jason...Thanks for checking out the blog. I didn't work on Sunday, but one of the photographers who did might have captured the fly over. I can check with them for you. I enjoyed watching your practice runs and watching all the people make assumptions of why you were flying so low...standing on Mt. Washington and listening to the onlookers you would have thought we were under attack. I enjoyed the laugh. On a serious note thank you for your service to our country. Keep up the good work.
Dude- I didn't know about the flyover until it happened like 100 feet over my head. Freaked the hell out of me.
