This is a common sight if you drive this route during the day and night. It is the Avenue next to the Yuma International Airport on the way to MCAS Yuma.
At times they come in a little lower and usually in set of 2 to 4 aircraft.
Sometimes even TOO LOW.
We once and only ONCE had one of our F-5's return to our line with barbwire wrapped around one of the landing gear actuators.
That was from the fence that surrounds the Airfield
You can see the fence line to the right of the Canal berm in the photo.
Yeah That Low!!!!
My former boss once saw a flash of yellow in his rear view mirror. A Harrier had dropped a external full tank during this approach and it did a napalm type of splash across the Ave. Luckily no one was behind him traveling down the road.
Just some of the excitement of making this trip!!!
