Blame my WSO (part 2)

Ride along inside an F/A-18F Super Hornet as we follow our flight lead on a low altitude tour. Can you spot lead? Can anybody guess where this is filmed?
*All footage has been vetted for sensitive material. Enjoy!

    A friend has a lake cabin east of Seattle that is right under a low level military training rout. He was on his jet ski one day and the engine suddenly started screaming and he though it was about to let go so he jumped off into the water. Only to have two FA-18's rip overhead at low level. Bahahah!

He never married but when I went to his funeral in 2011 I was looking at his photos by his casket and there was 3 little old ladies there. They said "did you know Al" I said he was a good neighbor. They said they went to school with Al and they all had a crush on him🤣🤣 My dad cousin got shot down over Vietnam in an F4 doing reconnaissance, never recovered him or his sidekick and plane.
