December 4, 200619 yr My wife and I were just hanging out in the house when all of a sudden the house shook from the sound of jet aircraft. It was loud enough to rattle the windows and shake the whole house. I thought for sure it was a 727 crashing since we live about 20 minutes from FLL airport and they use an easterly approach from the west to land which is over our home. When I ran out of the house to see what it was I saw 4 what appeared to be f-15's heading on a Southeastern path maybe towards the airport. They were way under a normal flight deck since I could see their engines. I'd say about 500 feet. There isn't an airshow going on to my knowledge and they wouldn't go this far west. I'm not sure what is going on but I bet it makes the news. My neighbor stated they saw some single engine plane buzzing the area just prior which was wierd to them. This one outta be interesting. I bet the jets came from Tampa. Merc CDO is what we call it in the AF. Counter Drug Operations. We have TDY's that "area" all the time. Rest assured an AWACS found something and called in the "GO BACK TO YOUR MOTHERLAND" Team to enforce. No drugs for you mister bad guy. Cubans are invading?

Whatever they were doing they were kicking ass - by the time I ran out the door which was about 8 feet from where I was sitting all I saw what their afterburners firing....
