Aerial salute on Israel's 63rd birthday

.
Quintuplet -- 1. a combination of five of a kind
OK, I got my Q word for ABC Wednesday.
.
This morning a quintuplet of helicopters flew right over my house, followed by a second identical formation.
They must have been on their way to Jerusalem to do an Air Force fly-over for Independence Day.
.
The choppers were followed by five fighter jets and then several Hercules transport planes.
.
This combination was about aerial refueling.
.
Thanks, pilots, for letting me enjoy hearing and seeing these aircraft without leaving my doorstep!
Happy 63rd Independence Day!

  2. Happy Independence Day! One of the thrilling moments of my life was walking through the Jerusalem streets near the Lion's Gate on Independence Day and the fighter jets roaring overheard....everything vibrated from the roar of their engines echoing off the stone walls...even my bones. I had almost forgotten that moment until I saw your post today!
