Chinese paratroops dropping into Spencer, MA....
Back in the early 90's, when I was in college, the best BBS for porn (we are talking scanned Playboy, et al, photos) in the area was a line in Spencer, MA. Them Chinese are always loving some good 90's full-shrub scanned porn pix. LOL
Roommate was a computer geek. We had a 14.4 modem when everyone else had 2600. LOL

Two of the intruders. They flew over the cuckoos nest known as the 'ham several times. I thought they were after me for a while!
Pic was taken around 12:50pm but they'd made several passes already in the previous 20 minutes. I suppose they were "hanging around" until it was time to fly over the game.
I tried to get a video on one of the passes but all I got was the noise. Tree branches and crappy camera prevented a good shot.
For fighters, it's easy. We had a wave-off due to wind at a PAwsox game a few years ago for Navy para-jumper team. You could see the plane circling.
SIL (youngest son, oldest son, yada yada) works at Whiteman in MO. The hard one is the B2. Not the easiest thing to be circling for a while, but thankfully there is not a thing near KC. Expect to see at least one at the game on Sunday. It's either that or some Reserve A10's.
I remember a fly by up at loudon 15 plus years ago at the nascar race. 2- B2 bombers at full afterburner at fly by, it was unreal.
The B2 is a mean looking plane.
I also miss seeing the constant fighter jet activity overhead when the Weymouth Airbase was open back in the day, as a kid it was very awe inspiring.
I wonder what they were doing there in the first place. It costs a S-ton to run one. Sending 2 to Louden from Whiteman is an expensive and long trip, unless it was in conjunction with them working on something. There isn't a base where they are actively held anywhere on the East Coast. (I believe it's pretty much Whiteman, Andrews for testing, Guam, I think, something in Europe that they wind up never using and probably 2 in Alaska. Since we can bomb stuff deep in Sandland from Missouri, there isn't a need to have them everywhere.)
Also - I heard a rumor that Otis was going full AF instead of just Guard. Anyone else hear anything????
