MChord C-17s
My new coffee shop is located northwest of McChord, so I see a lot of C-17s flying around. This morning, however, one was making a very tight turn and flying very low. It was so close I could almost see the pilot! It turned just right above my little shop before heading back to land. Tickled pink over the sight of it.
If you can show me your military ID and give me the secret password (actually it's only your username on APC), you get a discount on your latte.

Post the address! I'll try and come in for a coffee. I have been dodging those B-17s over Tacoma all week. They are easy to spot from the air and they seem to get their way, while everyone else has to clear out.
