Stop in for a cup of coffee

It can get kinda noisy round here. A pay for play Borate tanker contractor has an installation here. Been quiet so far this year with no brush fires in the immediate area. The DC 10 tanker flies in for cocktails at Pepper Garcia's at the airport on Fridays and stays the weekend :lol:.

When I was in Arkansas for my first job out of college, I lived one mile from an Air Force base... You could hear them taking off...

You knew what was taking off without looking, the C-130s just made noise, the B-52's shook the ground....


One day while I was mowing my lawn, I hear planes flying overhead and see a couple F-18's and F-14's... They were having an air show at the base that day..


My buddy Dwight in Detroit was in the Air Force and every time he heard a jet overhead would look to see what it was... He referred to the fighter jets as "hot rods"....
