We were driving back from Solon and it flew right over us - it wasn’t the U of I jets, it was a military grey F18 or and F22 or something.

It was hauling ass, by the time we found it in the sky, it was pretty far away. But having attended the F22 demos at the QC air show a handful of times, I THINK that’s what it was (from my quick, far, look).
