Sorry, didn't mean to imply that a Falcon driver wouldn't commit the acts as described, just meant that the "two engine" description didn't fit the Falcon profile.
But I have seen many a Warthog buzzing the landscape, especially in and above the notches and over on 89 and northern 93. I think the boys from Vermont love scaring the beejesus out of us native and tourist folk over here in Cow Hampshire.
Anyway, the two fighters escorting the KC-135 Sunday at Loudon were definitely Falcons. Don't want to clog up the post with a bunch of links, but a quick google search on Sunday's race activities will reveal multiple posters commenting on the F-16 flyover, usually combining it with comments about it coming a tad bit early....in the middle of the Anthem.
Was a pretty sight all the same!
