Flying at about 300 - 400 feet, above the ridgeline?

If you go to this website:[url]http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/c-5.htm[/url] you will note that there are six such aircraft stationed at Altus Air Force Base, which is approximately 60 miles from the Farm.

You mean you didn't see anything like this?

I used to watch C5's land at Lajes Field in the Azores from about 800 feet above, and a mile to the side the runway:
Quite a show.

The best fly over I've seen so far was a Shuttle piggy backed on a 747 that flew about 2K feet over Prescott Valley about a year ago.

Actually, [b]Ponyboy[/b], REALERIC and I were once out at the Farm when we [u]were[/u] surprised by a very, very quiet helicopter flying directly over us!

It couldn't have been more than 2-300 feet above us, but the sound we heard was similar to someone mowing their lawn a block away!

It was the most absolutely 'noiseless' object that I have ever heard fly.

And, of course, it was [b]black[/b]!

Hey, [b]ilikelegs[/b], don't forget to send that poster e-mail to IAjack as soon as you can.

He says he needs it!

Hope you enjoyed the Farm.

Thanks for the Hospitality.  This week of work has really been depressing...I had to work.  A good weekend with Great Shooters and PEOPLES is a
"A GOOD THING". [:D]
