The KC-135 arrived first and requested to be in a position to film the Raptors arrival. The Raptor called up the tower and the ATC requested them in an almost begging voice for them to perform a low level left pitch over the top of the pavilions and fire station. I was positioned close to the runway and both raptor come down to around 200ft then lit the burners over the top while pulling into a left fast climbing turn. You could feel the heat. AWESOME. From what I could read, one is AK 108 the other the other reads AK 525 FS. I will post some photos soon.
