this hits really close to home for me! What is funny is that two of these jets came right over my house on the training route about minuets before this was reported....wouldn't be surprised it this one was on it's way to come over my house too!

I use to see them fly over Myrtle Beach,SC when I was younger. They have a base down in Beaufort,SC, They would constantly fly up and down the coast on training missions.

I had a premonition this was going to happen months back

Colby Smith talks with reporter Joe Flanagan about how he discovered the jet crash at his apartment complex on Birdneck Road. Smith talked with one of the pilots.
