Klamath Falls, OR - Welcoming Party

We had the most incredible welcoming party when we arrived in Klamath Falls last Thursday. The Oregon Air National Guard were doing flight training maneuvers with their F15 Eagles. Wow! We've always enjoyed driving down I-95 at home and trying to time the commercial planes so that we are driving directly under the landing plane when it crosses over I-95 just at the airport's edge. But have you ever been buzzed by an F15 when it is coming in for a landing? It was great watching them exercise on the drive in, but to see an F15 that close and low to the road was powerful.

Welcome to Klamath Falls! But don't expect any waterfalls in this town. The falls were covered over when they dammed the river years ago. The poor ladies at the Visitor Center must be sooo tired of explaining how there are no falls in Klamath Falls.
