A Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet crew got permission for a low-level demonstration flight, as part of the opening ceremony for a speedboat race on the Detroit River, last weekend.   This is what it looked like, for Motor City residents.

This is the moment a US Navy pilot gave a shocked resident a very close look at his F18.  The fighter / bomber streaked past an apartment block on the banks of the Detroit River at the weekend. It was part of a tactical demonstration fly-past to open a speedboat race in the North American city. Officials waived rules to allow the Navy flyers to swoop under 100 ft. along the waterway.

One resident said, "I couldn't believe how low they flew and how close they came to our building,  I'm sure the pilot waved at me."  The jets had flown in from the Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia to put on a spectacular show for thousands of spectators.

NORTH PLATTE CANTEEN

NORTH PLATTE CANTEEN

From December 25, 1941 until April 1, 1946 more than 6 million servicemen and women who traveled through Nebraska during World War II fondly remember the hospitality of the North Platte Canteen where every troop train was met by volunteers who prepared and served sandwiches, coffee, cookies, cakes, and other homemade ‘goodies’ during stops there. This site is in honor of those servicemen and women, the Canteen and its volunteers as a reminder of its proud past; an opportunity to look back in time.
