YIKES! An F-something just flew by so low it set off car alarms

Flying North. It couldn't have been 1,000 feet off the ground. Car alarms went off all over the place. Straight over downton Richmond Va.

I never was good at aircraft ID.

9. When I Was a Grade-Schooler, I Saw an F-4 Fly by the School
My classroom faced the ballfield that year - 1963-64. That plane flew so low that it barely cleared the tall fence behind home plate, and I swear it had to pull up just to accomplish that! Scared the bejeezus out of me! To this day I can't figure out WTF that pilot was doing.
