    AGC and the fields around it are considered a potential ditch site for the yard-darts. Just sayin... If it's flyin funny (1 engine plus 1 flame-out plus zero glide slope equals instant brick), might be time to go.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    You would think that...

    Sept 12th, everyone loved the noise of our planes.

    Nows we get noise complaints all the time.

    Our pilots can't come back and just land. The only time I remember them doing a straight-in approach was after Sep. 11th. Otherwise, they come back and do 2-4 touch and goes every flight. AGC just happens to be under the flight path if they turn to the east at the north end of the runway.

    I was leaving base Wednesday afternoon and a couple had just come back doing their usual show circling to the west. I don't think they were more than 500' up as they came around over my truck with the throttle pushed up. Even after almost 24 years that's still impressive! Makes you wonder what's going through the Taliban's mind as they watch 'em pickle off ordnance...

    I thought they were referring to the new off road, street legal Ford Truck called the Raptor.


    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    I don't know what's going through their mind when they see that but I'm sure piss is going through their pants!

    Them doing touch and goes must be why it seems like there are always 10-12 of them. Must just be 3 or 4. I stop what I'm doing and watch them every time.

    @SA Friday - As for the area around AGC being a potential ditch site...I guess I better start looking up more often. Trying to scare me off because your name is on the waitlist? I'm not going anywhere so you'll have to scare someone else off with stories of potentially being hit by a falling jet.
