Extremely low altitude military plane flyovers up north?

In the 1970s, F4 Phantoms would come absolutely screaming up the Mississippi valley by Wabasha. Low, fast, smokey and LOUD. Not sure what they were doing but as a kid it was awesome to watch.

Ripley is training again they were low flying last night. I live up cross and usuaully twice a month we buzzed by some cargo planes at tree top levels around the eveing. Once and a while during the day which is cool to see.

We had a really cool experience on Saturday out on Superior with a low-flying Fighter doing some maneuvers. Kinda tough to see as he was in and out of the clouds a bunch, but looked a lot like F-35 from the glimpses we got. Sure could hear him up there!

I got to meet one of those pilots (Cooter). We met during a late ice fly-in trip to Oak Island. Super cool dude.

He said he’ll do a low altitude buzz over my job site in Two Harbors if I ask

I think I read the 148th Fighter Wing in Duluth is doing joint training with some European F-35 squadron (Maybe Norwegian?), so thats probably what you saw – awesome!
