Yes it was. In fact while drudging through some yard work at a Perch Sautee-ing 80*F I hear what proved to be 8 buzzin duzzins practicing for EAA in Oshkosh B'gosh today. Swarms of squadrons all over the place in 3s up to 8s. NINETY SIX BANGERS in perfect harmony at about 2,000 feet. I am by no means an expert, but guessing many P-51s and P-40s in formation. Allison V-12s. They use Rawley Point Light on the lake as a sortie reference. Thats about 50 miles by air each way. Had to stop and watch. Tomorrow is the big day and maybe a multi engine bomber or two mite stroll by. Ill have my camera with!

My dock builders showed up after giving them the contract a year ago. Got all the old pilings out and the new ones jetted in. Framing starts next week.

Imagine flying combat missions in a 50 year old plane. His last deployment was so bad when he came back hateful muslim traitor was instituting a RIF and a big part was getting rid of pilots because drones. Even though he used to tell me they always sent 2 F15’s to follow the drone in case it when haywire and needed to be shot down. And everyone knows about the burn pits. What they were burning was the drones. He has a 20% disability for being exposed to advanced composite smoke. That last deployment he was flying the MC12 liberty low and slow supporting spec op and seal missions. Shoulder launched missiles were showing up on the battlefield from the cashe at Benghazi. Lost his 2 closest friends one in the KC135 that went down the other in a F16 on approach to Baghram. Top it off the end of don’t ask don’t tell where if one of them didn’t like you you were screwed. He just said F-it and got out. He didn’t even want to stay in the reserve. My dad was on Midway in WW11 when he got out he didn’t go reserve. Bunch of his friends did and ended up in Korea. Several who survived WW11 died in Korea and at that point in their lives left behind wives kids houses. So he went IRR inactive ready reserve. Well senile Joe had called up the IRR troops now guys in their 30’s 40’s and 50’s who have lives and got out. He’s shitting himself just making money flying cargo and building a house, wife kid dog. He’ll lose the house back on military pay and no doubt deployed to Ukraine. All for a bunch of crooks who are raping this country. Republicans and democrats. He’s convinced Putin is in on this too and it’s a wag the dog scenario for them all to get rich. Bobby is an intel guy with the highest clearances. He should know Russia could have taken out Kiev with a couple cruise missiles in the first couple hours. Sends in their B team just to make a showing. I’m convinced this whole thing is just designed to bankrupt us like we did to the Soviet Union with SDI. It’s all total bullchit and after seeing some of the crap in these hearings about how corrupt The Bidet crime family is it just wants to make you throw up.
