Anyone else hearing the big plane overhead?

They were at it again about an hour ago tonight. Hope it doesn't happen at 1 in the morning again. Someone told my husband that last night they saw people being dropped into the bay from the plane. Don't know if it's true or not.

The passengers did appear to be from the Clinton Administration. I'm jealous of all of that leg room.

I wonder if the joint forces would include the Navy, stationed in PCB? Maybe there were some underwater specialists swimming around in Mack Bayou and the Bay? Wouldn't that be the only reason for such a large plane to be flying so low? -- To make a drop of equipment or people?

Who knows. :idontno: After wading through all the military acronyms and gobbly gook, all I was able to take from the article was this was a test of digital communications systems designed to allow ground soldiers to communicate where they wanted bombs dropped. It appeared part of the test was to ensure the system was able to be used by all branches of the military so I guess the Navy could be involved?

Or more than likely, they were searching for anti-GWB material as suggested above. :lol: Maybe they're searching for anybody sinking construction equipment into area waters while operating without a permit? :lol:

Couldn't these two be one in the same :scratch: ;-)
 
Though it seems like training missions in the area have in general been down since they've started sending people down to the 'sandbox'. Even with everything these days, it's not close to the noise we used to get in the summer of 2001.
 
I recall being in Seaside during the first week of July 2002. It was so crowded that we drove to Port St Joe, to escape the madness, only to be quickly ran off by the sound of roaring F16s as they were landing and taking off. It was as thought they were getting ready to defend our Country against another possible attack on our Nation's anniversary.

Heard jets this AM. Eglin must be running missions.

I hear the F-15's over my house just about every morning. Sometimes at night you can see flares being dropped out in the Gulf as well.
