October 2008. Late afternoon, setting up camp in Eureka Valley, and I heard this deep rumble off to the west. I had no clue what it was initially. Then I saw the jet blasting directly towards me. I grabbed for my camera (which at the time was complete junk by today's standards), and attempted to get a few good shots. The best that I got was https://netllama.linux-sxs.org/pix/trips...v/152.html .
He circled the valley, then headed south. I assumed that was it, but 20 minutes later, he blasted back north across the dunes, and then disappeared.
I've had a few other much less exciting encounters since then.
