Take a chill...who are you, R. Lee Ermey?

Someone in the thread asked what NTC was.

Yeah, it is pretty damn hot out there.

I live in Canada very close to New Hampshire and Maine, and I saw no military activity.

Even when I lived near the Bagotville AFB when it was the home of the CF18's, I saw almost no planes at all. God help USA with it's military addiction. Ask yourself, would Jesus agree with warfare? And yet your leaders often swings the bible around to help legitimize their selfish actions.

Bit offset from OP, just my opinion.

A very small town in NW GA called Summerville.

Dude calm down. All I wish to do is share information.

Yes, I've lived here for several years. We get jets all the time, but its been particularly high today.

You have seen 2 jets only. The same two jets.

I imagine they are doing a big circle and you are in their loop.

They make their circles which accomplishes a couple of things.

1. They get to practice take offs and landings. At a place I will inform you of shortly.

and

2. They get their air time.

I am 100 percent positive that you are seeing NG pilots. They are taking off and landing in Augusta Ga at the Augusta Regional Airport. A place I was employed at until I had to move. There I worked the ramp. Once a month, mostly on Fridays, we get 2 pilots from the NG in who were getting in their hours. It was always the same 2. Every once in a while they would have to come in on Saturdays, but mainly on Fridays.

The reason they made the effort to come in on Fridays is because they ate lunch at this awesome restaurant called T's. T's is only open Wendsday, Thursday and Friday.

They ate lunch, hung around a while and after I fueled them up they gave me 20 dollars a piece and took off. They would make usually about 4 landings during the course of the day.

Its been a year and a half so I have forgotten their names. I remember one of the jets carry a colonel who is the pilot and a major as the navigator.

If you want I can tell you what the colonel told me the first time I met him. It was my first time ground guiding a 16 and I didn't know about the ladder the ground crew had to unhitch underneath the pilots left wing. He wasn't happy about it.

Edit to add- I have no idea where there planes are homed at. But they are GA NG.

I never claimed to only see two jets. I said we see one-to two new jets almost every 30 minutes (we did) for around 2-4 hours.

Otherwise though, good info. Star.

Excuse me but the poster was answering someone else's question and was not even speaking to or about you. Please, in your haste to be belittling and argumentative could you at least be sure to rip a new one only in those who make the mistake of speaking to you?

By the way, how did you know they were new?

reply to post by jdills1196


Hmm...I also live in NW Ga and I haven't heard any aircraft all day. I didn't notice the sunset yesterday but my mom did and she said it just looked pink to her.
