If you're a fast-jet lover, this might be the most exciting day of the entire trip as you pass the 'Mach Loop'. It's impossible to get timetables of when the jets are flying and might be near the loop (where they can fly crazily low), so it's just pot luck. Monday-Thursday and not near lunchtime or after 4pm are your best bets. There are several places around the area if you want to wait and see if you get lucky.
