In an instant, two A10 Warthogs, inverted, flew overhead, tree top overhead and vanished down the south side of the mountain, back to Indian Town Gap. I'll not forget how glad I was that I'd never be a bad guy, kissing the bottom of a trench with those ground attack machines heading toward me. YIKES!

Our industrial airport sits in the middle of 3 military air stations so it’s not unusual to see military aircraft doing touch & go landings and in the discussion of unique sounds, the Osprey makes a loud vibrating roar like no other. It’s cool to see them just hover like a bee maybe 50 ft up over the runway.

Today was a beautiful day in NC, especially considering what we have coming. Snow Hill / Greene Co Tuscarora Indian burial ground monument on today’s ride


All these are spellings of the tribal name in several languages
