Trying to figure out the best place to go. Live in North Austin near Cedar Park and not too far from 620/I-35 Roundrock. 

Since the purpose is to fly over hospitals, St. Davids on 620 will be right on the flight path.

The Lead Slot Pilot is a woman, Major Michelle Curran.  Pretty cool!  

(I realize this is a set-up, fire away gentlemen)

As if we couldn't tell after one look at the flight path.

I was coming out of the HEB near the Quarry in SA about 2 hrs ago or so and had forgotten about this.  Precisely when I got out of the door I felt a low steady and growing rumble, then heard what sounded like a rocket headed right for my head only to look up and see those fuckers on the hard deck a solid 3-Wood distance away directly above.

Best change of underwear I've ever had to make.

looks like they're going to fly right down 1431. Maybe the Target/Academy at 1431/183A would be a good spot. 

Flew over Cedar Park Medical Center, circled the Target/Academy and made a second pass over the hospital before turning SE and heading down 1431. Got a couple iPhone shots but I can't get tapa to load right now.

They flew directly over St. Davids on 620. We are in Brushy Creek and standing on our street I caught a brief glimpse of the chase plane.
