hi jan, thanks for your reply...ive been very lucky in the last 5 years since my wife and i moved to just outside dover delaware,we r only 10mins away from the dover air base..ive gone down there a lot when we see the plains flying arround and just hang out and take picts of the big c-5s and c-17s takeing off and landing... most days they fly rite over our house very low so ill run outside and snap off some picts here to lol..for someone like me that loves air plains is a cool place to live.. this year ive been seeing a lot of a-10s going over like at least 1-2 times a week they fly over then usually back within an hr or so..yesterday i saw the 2 go over followed close by a f-16, i was playing golf by the house and didnt have my camera lol..the other nice thing ive noticed here to is im within 2-3 hrs of some very good airshows,dover air base has hade 2 since ive lived here and andrews in wash d.c hase 1 every year and atlantic city both r only 2hrs away..the one we r going to in 2 weeks in viriginia is about 4hrs but ive wanted to go there since we moved here so im pumped this year for it...i read on there web page that on saturday nite at sunset there will be a f-18 full afterburner fly by on the beach i cant wait to see that lol....i just hope i can get a good pict of that..... thanks again rod
