Probably same guys that come thru all the time.  We're
still not a respected gas n go facility for the
military.  Just see the NIGHTHAWK log.

       134.35>120.9

1135:  348.9--AR-111, MASH 82 (KC-135R, 72nd ARS/434th

1220:  NIGHTHAWK 71 x 2 (???) W/Nashville A/D 124.75>,
       lands John C Tune (KJWN) 122.7

I thought these guys were landing Nashville but threw
a curve ball and landed at Tune.  What's up with that?
I hope they weren't CH-53's or those tiny trucks at
Tune would be struggling.
