I've experienced this back in 2005 in the San Juan Mountains outside of Ouray Colorado. I was Jeeping in the mountains at an altitude between 10,000' to 12,000' feet when the first F16 came down the valley at the same height I was standing. The jet was rolled over on it's side, so I could see right inside the cockpit and count the rivet's on the wings. Moments later the second jet came down the pass. The sound you feel in your chest.......it's something.
