Here is the second video for the previous message.
I should add that this is a leapfrog drill - the boat in the lead goes to paddle and the boat behind goes to full power. When the full power boat is 1 length of open water ahead it goes to paddle and the trailing boat goes to full power. It allows the coach to keep the boats reasonably close together, and see both on paddle and power.

But looking out the left window of the car I saw what I think was an F-18 flying about 50' above our altitude, (or about 150' above the lake level) around 50 yards off to my left! This was followed by two more of the same type planes rolling just like in the video you see of them to make their turns. Total of three of them following the terrain. Cool!!! I haven't seen them in real life doing that, but it is so impressive. Lowlights of the trip, A-Frame house with the bed shoved against the wall is very hard on a tall person who is on the wall side, and Janet fell ...
