Just had 4 jets over Choulou, It made your chest rumble!!

Was sitting outside this morning - lovely weather - when two planes flew nearby us - no problem. Then a 3rd one came directly over the house SO CLOSE that I could see the Pilot! It was SO LOUD and made the house shake! I was shaking for ages afterwards. I know Theletra is quite high up - but the Planes shouldn't be THAT close to houses. x
