I didn't go to the show but Kelly and I were down around Oceana that day to get her engagement ring sized up at a local jewelry maker... at least 3 car accidents we saw... obviously must have been caused by people watching the jets. It's crazy to think about it... if these guys are traveling even close to the speed of sound... even half that... they're literally in North Carolina by the time you even know what passed over ya! So fast and loud, I believe you'd be a crispy critter before you even knew what blew your butt up.
