K. Position, title and comments of the preparing officer: Capt. Stephen Levine Capt, Pilot/Navigator. At approximately 2300 I observed an F -101 making a low pass over runway 27. He lit his after burners and turned right out of traffic with his burners lit and at a low altitude until out of sight. This flight path would have taken him over the observer s positions at the approximate time of their sighti ngs. Their d iscriptions match my observation perfectly.
