I live a mile north of MacDill, they have had Hornets, A-10s, C-12, Hercs, what appeared to be a casa 235/295?, as well as these two guys, below link, from what appears to be the combat dragon II program.

Sounds like somebody is tuning up for a land boogy. Your Central Command in action.

If you are stuck at the Holiday Inn on Rt. 27 this week with nothing to do, drop me a PM and I'll take you to dinner at one of the finer establishments, (Wild Turkey Tavern) or at least I can bring you some Sierra Nevada's at the motel.
I think AFSOC's EMERALD WARRIOR was going on.
