| Bring your happy selfs up here to my neck of the country and you will see F/A 18, Harriers, Helo's (53,46,Cobra's) and here the sounds of 155 howitzer rounds impacting. It makes me smile. You haven't lived until you get invited to pull the lanyard on a 155 Howitzer. |

I've called A-10's and F-16's for CAS (in an excercise).... Watched AH-64's do thier thing in Kirkuk... Participated in a kick-ass downed pilot scenario in a CH-47 (those things will do SOOOO much more than I thought!)... Combat landings in C-17's and C-130's.... I like the flying things...especially when they make things go boom.... |
| they had an airshow last weekend in Ft. Smith, My son said the Apaches were there in force.... said they also performed something some people call "Generations" maneuver in which a sexy new F-22 leads a formation with a kick ass couple of WW2 warbirds and a F4 and and F14,15 and 16... but that is what I was told anyway... |

I was on my way home about 3:10 pm this afternoon and saw two of them flying relatively low. They looked as if they were flying from the LR airport. I was just past the 65th street exit on I-30 going toward downtown. Pretty cool machines. They had a lot of stuff hanging below them. I was traveling too fast to tell what all of it looked like. DK |
