The larger the plane, the slower it looks like it's going. A C5, when cruising or preping to land seems like it's motionless in the sky. But in reality it's well above stall speed. A C-130 doing low pros will look like it's just clearing the trees, when in reality it's 500+ agl and smoking along at 200 knots, if it passes directly over you or very close to you (1000 ft realitive). Looks ALOT closer than it is just due to the size of the aircraft. And just an FYI, the Lake area is a sparcely populated area. Just because you were there doesn't make the route densely populated. sorry....
