COMMENT: Sun Jul 7 21:01:29 GMT 2002 The jets are practicing bombing runs in the training area below us in Pohakuloa it's impressive. Looks like FA18 aircraft. They turn over Mauna Loa summit then Mauna Kea summit, then dive heavily and pull up heavily in a line slightly to the West of directly at me. Then the bombs hit as they climb and the sound sometimes reaches us - but way after the explosion.
