Speaking of flyovers, I'll report that Barksdale AFB here in Shreveport, Louisiana has been rather busy during the last couple of weeks. B-52's, C-130's, Blackhawks, Chinooks, KC-10's, and beautiful low altitude formations of A-10's have been regularly buzzing the house. Northern approach to the regional airport apparently extends directly over my house, and the local AF pilots fly a circular pattern from Barksdale (east side of town) over Regional (west side of town). It's a pretty decent ongoing airshow - and no admission! :)
