C130's circling overhead....
Any of you guys down in Avon Park, FL this week? There's been a C130 going around in circles for days, right over my house, with some A10's flying by and some fast movers up high. Looked like maybe a King Air up there going in circles too.
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.

Yeah, it's soooo busy down here in central FL!
I was waiting for a Black Helicopter joke....
but it's a C130, I swear!
(but maybe they are listening to my inner thoughts too??).

Right now it's the high/fast guys up there doing their thing. I've seen some of the parachute flares on my drive home sometimes, late at night. I'm sure the local Police Dept. gets lots of UFO calls on those nights!
I know some of my friends in the A10 have been TDY to AP at times as I have taken them out for dinner, but I left the Guard a long time ago, so did they.
I was just offering to show some hospitality to anyone stuck in Avon Park TDY tonight or tomorrow, then I have to go to work.

Was it one of the new AC-130 "Bomb Trucks" ?
