Once was sailing across the Chesapeake Bay and three jets kept circling our boat. One guy on the boat was a retired Navy pilot who told is that they were just up from Oceana NAS playing around. A few minutes later they flew overhead low, in formation, wings swept back heading straight for Annapolis. It was a fly over for the Naval Academy homecoming and if you think seeing one in a stadium is cool then let me assure you that watching them go in for it is super badass.

Should be easy to tell. F-16's have a single tail rudder while F-15's have two angled rudders.

I think they flew right over my apartment, something certainly flew pretty low at just before 1:00... Anyone know which direction they were heading?

Your right, very easy to tell the two apart. They were F-15s from the LNG unit in Belle Chase.

I am still holding out hope that LSU would ask for a B-52 from Barksdale flanked by two F-15s for a football game to top Bama's KC-135 and two F-16s from a few years back.

That was two jet and four turbofan engines, just think what 12 jet engines would sound like!

B-52 = 8 jet engines
F-15 = 2 x 2 jet engines

F-15's tails are not angled. F-18's are angled.

I did not agree with the previous poster who posted that, I did agree it is easy to tell the difference between a F-15 and a F-16.

When I was in college there was a fly over at every home game by the Confederate Air Force. Don't know when they stopped doing it.
