Default A B-52 Bomber

I've had a B-52 Bomber flying overhead for most of the afternoon today. He/She is criss-crossing the sky and doing big, lazy circles. I estimate it to be about 20,000 to 30,000 feet high. Just high enough to leave a vapor trail. This is very cool.

You do know Tyndall is where some very heavy duty ordinance is tested.

Along with my backyard.

The local news will announce that if you hear a loud explosion between Niceville and Mossy Head Florida don't be alarmed, it's just the military(USAF) detonating some munitions!

Neither.

I'm one mile west of Hurlbert Air Force Base on SR 98, and 5 miles west of Fort Walton Beach, FL.

I'm 16 miles west of Eglin AFB and 40 miles east of Pensacola NAS which has a great museum.
My town is in zip code of Mary Ester, 32569 but my town is called Florosa, FL.

Try finding that on a map!

I have never lived in a zip code less town before.

I am also 3.2 miles east of where the Army Rangers complete their training to become a U.S. Army Ranger.

I think that is really cool!

pm me if you want my living address. My backyard is USAF property under Eglin.
