When I used to farm, they would make strafing runs at me on the tractor all the time. Just pulling up at the last second. I've had half a dozen of the big transport prop planes come over at tree top level. {loud} But mostly it was fighters dog fighting. Even though I'm close to Tendal, I heard they were out of Texas. My farm was just on their practice runs. {They played war a lot more before we were in so many actual wars}

Govt cut back on their training funds, so cheap they are counting bullets.

I live in a rural Central Coast valley; 25+ yrs ago is was very common for fighters from the Central Valley to blast thru at very low altitude (200 300 ft) at full afterburners heading to Ft Hunter Liggett. Jesus H Christ it was impressive and deafening. Since I wasn't a livestock rancher didn't bother me at all. Eventually that stopped, now they come through at 5000ft no afterburners.

Sweet! There are 17 species that are in the range from Baja north to British Columbia; maybe around 8 or 9 are in your area. As I don't know your exact area I'm limited in my guesses.

go down to the specie list and put your cursor on the names in your area and a pic will pop up; should help

Did you have any Dodecatheons 2 months back?

We still get the maximum performance take offs here, no en route after burners. @cannabineer what was that fuel joke?

I had a tentative ID of elegantissima but I don't trust my field skills. Wanna go mushroom hunting!?
