Years ago I was in Vilnius Lithuania doing a trade project-- had a couple of meetings there. Whe I flew in on aerolithuania (do not recommend) we landed at what was surely a cold war Era soviet airbase. Lined up along the runway were old Bear Foxtrot russian bombers with their wings chopped off-- it was really odd to see.

Well, a few days later, I'm in the airport "bar" which overlooked the airfield. All of the sudden, all the taxi traffic on the runway comes to a dead stop. I mean everything just froze.

Seconds later I hear a rumble in the distance and from over my left shoulder comes 2 F15s, on the deck-- and I mean on the freaking deck-- just SCREAMING down the length of the runway. At the end of the runway both drivers lit their burners and pulled seemingly straight up and into the clouds with a thunderous boom.

Thoroughly impressed, I look at the female bartender and realize that this must be a regular occurrence-- because she seemed to hardly notice or care. This was April 2004.
