They are a bunch of hot doggers; especially the Navy ones who like to land on ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchip Posted January 28, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Same thing happened when I was at the pool on the Grand in November. It was between San Diego and Ensenada. It scared the c@&$ out of me too. Cheers, Denise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framer Posted January 28, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Once early morning w/the CB pulling into Boston, I'd gotten up to see the jets landing at Logan. They normally close a rwy while the ship is passing. Someone miscalculated the timing and a 747 got a bit too close to the ship for the plane captain to continue his approach. The 747 went to full power and aborted his approach, it flew over about 200 - 300 feet. My wife had been asleep in the middle of the ship and was vibrated awake: It was so cool to watch.

elliair Posted January 28, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Bout scared the carp out of me sitting on my balcony an extremely loud military jet just came out of nowhere and buzzed our ship about a mile out. Not sure if it was Cuban or USA or Mexican but it sure scared the check out of us This happened to us once on a Mexican cruise. We were headed out of Cabo on our way to LA when the ship turned around and headed back towards Cabo. The Captain said that there were military exercises going on and was ordered to turn back. After the exercises were over, the military jet buzzed the ship. It was pretty exciting. I was walking on the stern on the Promenade deck and I saw it coming. Gave me the chills!

iceleven Posted January 28, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Same thing happened when I was at the pool on the Grand in November. It was between San Diego and Ensenada. It scared the c@&$ out of me too. Cheers, Denise. Yes, this happened to us as well. Two jets, one after the other by only a few seconds and flying very low right over the ship. At first it frightened me because I thought we might be under attack. :p I thought we were still off the Mexican coast then it dawned on me that it had to be the U.S. Navy out of San Diego but with all the airspace out there they could have taken, I guess they felt a need to remind us they were protecting us. :D Edited January 28, 2016 by iceleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted January 28, 2016 #16 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) During a British Isles cruise while off the coast of Scotland watching a movie on MUTS at night with overcast skies a fast moving very loud jet buzzed our ship resulting in many Holy "Carp" reactions. :p Edited January 28, 2016 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
