[MilAir] Happy 52 Heavy

[Dave Mayfield W9WRL]

I know what you mean. I live about 1.5 miles right South of the Quad 
Cities International. We see Mr. Happy 2 or 4 times per year, and that's 
about it. We have a big Airshow near here at Davenport, Iowa. But most 
off the time the Blue Angels and anything heavy will park at the QCI, so 
we get to see a few birds here and there. Trouble is being 1.5 miles 
from the airport we are to close in and most all fights are going around 
us, not over. So most times I hear them but don't see them.
