Anyone else hearing the big plane overhead?

From relatives who were stationed at Eglin, and one in particular who spent the last part of his military career in the NSA: There is a LOT that goes on at Eglin and Hurlburt that the public does not know and cannot find out about.

I am still waiting for an explanation of a loud-as-heck bang (not a boom; a BANG) that happened at 4:30 in the morning about 12 years ago. We were living in Freeport and it sounded like someone fired a shotgun in our front yard. People in Seagrove heard it. People in Ponce De Leon heard it. People in Geneva, Alabama heard it. Everywhere it was heard, it was just as loud. And the military said .

So far we've heard this airplane on 4 different nights. The 4th night, it wasn't flying directly over the house, but more over the bay. While driving to the Rave last night (about 8pm), my daughter saw a big plane flying low, near the old Tibs, and the engines sounded the same as the plane that had flown over the house.

Remember a couple years back when they were testing the MOAB? All the news channels came down for the explosion, and every time they interviewed a local, it was like 'Eh, no big deal. They blow lots of stuff up here all the time that's nearly as big. Only reason y'all are here is to make sure a message gets sent to the Iraquis.'

No, I do NOT have your chairs, your tent or your kayak. Please call 267-1216.

Too bad you cannot hand the people, looking for tents one of (these) over the telephone.


I know a lady whose husband does contract work for Eglin AFB, and she tells me that the public doesn't want to know what happens several miles out in Gulf. I never knew they did bomb testing in the Gulf, but apparently, ... they do much more than that.

Ah, just another day at the calming beach, without a worry.

I had never seen one of these particular helicopters, or any with this type of camouflage flying around our beaches, prior to yesterday. Nothing special looking about it, but just a new one to me in our area.
