We are near the easterly flight path for the Eugene airport. We thought maybe an Airliner was going down at first. Our dog headed for cover and I found my Wife standing frozen in the kitchen. I've never seen her eyes that big before.

Not sure where they were heading, we're not having any big events or air shows nearby..

F/18's are Navy/Marines, not Air Force. Hornets & Super Hornets; Navy should have the Super Hornets (about $20M more each); Marines the Hornets.

Canada has F/18's...Maybe the Canucks are invading???
