[MilCom] REACH 953 soon RTBing to CHS

[AllanStern at aol.com]

It is 11:15pm EDT (0315z).
   Moments ago REACH 953 cut a fine figure as he banked toward my  house, 
against a pitch black sky, toward Patrick AFB's Rnwy 02.  He is a  Charleston 
C-17A arriving from outside the country, most likely from a Central  or South 
American site.  He will be doing an ERO of two single pallets and  two T-3 
pallets, before RTBing home to Charleston.  He looks to be on the  ground here for 
over an hour; so I have some ground comms to listen to  tonight.
