That rings so close to home...lol... Was fishing on Winifred Lake just on the edge of Cold Lake Air weapons range during Maple Flag. Gorgeous day... sunny... calm water. We were pretty relaxed until 2 F-18s came out of nowhere at treetop level and flew right over us. I saw them coming just before and ducked but when they blew over us my buddy almost fell out of the boat...and then came the gigantic double BOOM BOOM.... Holy $hit...... Was talking to the lodge owner about it when we got back and he said they aren't suppose to break the sound barrier outside of the range boundaries but often do as the lake is right on the edge. He mentioned that he has had his big plate glass window in the lodge broken several times... They pay for it without question. Maple Flag was a great show watching aircraft from allover playing games... Was on that lake for four different years at the same time.
