The Buzz of a Hornet
An F-18 has been cutting circles over our neighborhood this afternoon. Naval Reserve on maneuvers?
I remember, some months after I moved here, I saw a pair of F-16s making simulated strike approaches at Morristown, which was perhaps chosen for its likely resemblance to Sarajevo or Belgrade. (Andrei Codrescu voiced a similar complaint that New Orleanians had for when Army helicopters maneuvered around there, using the Easy as a stand-in for Bagdad.)
The only thing I could see being quasi-bombed around here would be the mine at New Market.
If there are any Iranians reading this--stay out of the hills.
