[Scan-DC] Yesterday's (Monday's) flyover

[Earthlink]

Must have been the same B52 that flew over my house near Benedict, Md yesterday.  It actually came over the house twice and banked to the north as it flew.

About noon, I heard a loud plane go over my location in  Alexandria, four miles south of the Pentagon and eight miles west of Andrews. I didn't get outside in time to see what it was, but I was watching when a B-52 flew over.

I guess he was coming from or headed to Arlington Cemetery or the Mall. I had no scanner on at the time. Several years back, a B-52 flew over Arlington Cemetery to observe the burial of someone. This was years before the Air Force Memorial opened. I watched from the steps of the Masonic Temple. At that time, the B-52 was miles away. Yesterday's flyover was much closer for me. I don't get to see one of them too often.
