It was at Farragut State Park, Idaho. On the shores of Lake Pond
Orielle. I was 14. They gave us all little US flags to put on our
tents. Just after landing time a 707 did a low pass which knocked
many of the flags down. We thought is was ditching in the lake but a
minute or so later it came back around and buzzed us again. We never
did find out if it was connected to the landing or what. That evening
we gathered around a little b&w TV brought in with special permission
so we could watch the coverage. My group couldn't get to the
ampitheater that night.
