I figured something big was going on, Jeff , because there has been more military air activity than usual in our area the last couple days and they've been flying low enough to trim the trees as well.

Coincidentally, my dad (step-father) passed away two days ago. He had a great day Monday and he just didn't wake up Tuesday morning. He looked so peaceful - as if he felt no discomfort at all - just like he was still asleep. An easy death for a wonderful man.

Anyway, he was a medic in the Air Force in the 50s and has been fascinated by planes ever since. As the family has been gathered at our parents' home we have been flown over by two c-130s and a formation of Chinooks almost as if it was a deliberate flyover. I know NATO didn't plan it that way, but he would have loved it.

Regards,

Brian
