F-18s spotted low level on White Pass Washington state

Had a bit of a thrill today as I drove across the pass. A flight of 4 came by at about 1/3 NM in trail, 500 AGL and a good 350 knots! Gotta love that.
The first planes were in a steep bank and hard on the throttle to go around a mountain and change up the course. If this is the wrong forum for this please move it, mods.

500ft? That's medium level for the UK! :O

A flight of 4? That's a whole squadron in our Air Force, isn't it? I'm discounting the Red Arrows, of course.

Val,

The Red Arrows don't have a number and are not a Squadron...If I had my way they'd be a page in the history books, plus a few vids on UT.
