I Pepper Ghosted Myself!

Okay, so have any of you ever been snorkeling, and tried to pet a fish?
... I still have the scar to prove it.


One time, when I was leaving work (at McCarran Airport in Vegas), I was driving up Tropicana (goes across the end of the runway in a very darkish stretch). Anyway, my a/c didn't work in that car, so I always drove around with the driver (runway) side window open. I hear this sound coming at me, and it sounded for all the world like a Mac truck trying to run me down. I couldn't see a thing in my rear view, but I could hear it coming closer, and at one point it sounded practically on top of me - so much so that I actually swerved!

... And it was about then that the Cessna finally passed over me and into view on the runway.

I experienced something similar once driving on Lakewood Blvd which runs underneath the runway of the Long Beach Airport. I was convinced the loud noise I heard was my car's engine about to explode or something. Then I drove out of the tunnel and saw the plane taking off above me.
