An exerience of a lifetime

I had something happen yesterday that was awesome. Traveling back from Virginia I was on Interstate 81 almost at the North Carolina line when passing through I believe Fancy Gap. Two military airplanes, the small triangular ones, possibly MIGs came over the interstate. They maneuvered through the valley and one of them rolled and flew off over the mountain.  I was so overwhelmed with the variety of emotions. With everything going on in my "small" world, tsunami and reactor melt downs in Japan first response was fear. I was traveling alone hours from my family and waiting to see missiles drop from this plane out of no where. The next emotion was of awe how this well trained individual could handle that plane and scare the "stuff" out of me in just an instant. Needless to say the rest of my trip home was uneventful.

  1. Sounds like a very adventures trip. It is sad that we live in a world of fear now. For the first thought you had was that you was getting ready to be under attack. Thankfully your fear did not take over and make you miss the beauty of the moment.
