Several years ago I was working on an engineering project at Gemini during the day on Mauna Kea when we heard the sound of loud jets which is very unusual. We all went outside and two F-16 jets were chasing each other around the summit area. After a few minutes, the lead jet slowed right down and made a very slow pass pretty close to us. We all waved and the pilot waggled his wings and then just shot off into the clouds. It was a very impressive sight (and sound)!
