Hi everyone. Over the last few days we've had a LOT of military action here.
Things that we usually don't see here. Not your typical C-130 stuff.
We've had KC-135's flying very low along the shore. They are also doing touch and goes at the airport. (No I haven't driven out to see them, but I can see them do their approach from where I live.)
Now, Monday and again today, we had a C-17 flying west to east fairly low.
Maybe 4-5000ft. We NEVER see one of them here.
It's got me scratching my head as to where their from. I've never seen them train here with anything other than a C-130 before.

Wondered if anybody from this area might have a clue?

At least where you live they are not calling it "photo ops". We had AF1 joyriding around NY Harbor with two fighters and no one was supposed to notice. I guess that they didn't realize that the "invisiblity cloak" was turned off!

I've not seen nor heard anything down here in the Fox Cities. I wish I did though.:jump:

They may be getting ready for an inspection. We just had ours and had airlift help from a number of different units and types of airplanes. (Thanks to all who helped out.)

Panther, shame on you. ;) Canadian bacon is quite good, and I wish I could get it here in DE. There's a few other things in Canada that are quite good too. Tho beer is the only one I can say on here. LOL

KC-135's out of Milwaukee using Green Bay for touch and go training.
