    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    C-5's and C-17's are part of our daily life here as well, rarely does a day go by where you don't see or hear one, whenever the war in the Middle East picked up you would know without having to watch the news as flights increased and different flight patterns were taken due to increased traffic...

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    That is a great sound, but I personally prefer how the C-5's sound when they fly over the house. Before I was on SS a C-5 was either coming into or leaving (can't remember which) Travis AFB and flew no more than 3000 feet over the house. Windows rattled, dogs went crazy, and the sound was...

    Depending on if I go to Los Banos on Oct. 15 I might have more to add. Air show is in town here that weekend and if I stay I'll go it with the fire department for standby, however if I go to Los Banos I won't have anything and I won't have as much fun. Hmph.

    According to my eyes they are F-18 hornets. That is one of my uncanny abilities, determining aircraft types, such a random skill.

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    If i remember correctly between Korea and Vietnam a B-29 fitted with a similar system picked up CIA guys off a Russian base in the arctic before it melted into the sea. The base had been abandoned by the Russians due to the thaw. The CIA saw it as a chance to get information. So operatives...

    C-5's doing touch-n-go's aren't all that impressive to me, but i see them do it on a near daily basis so i guess that could take the fun out of it.
