Default Border raid target

Was enjoying a flight (in a Winjeel) across the Riverina district and spotted these border raid potentials. Well guarded but what prizes!

Default Big Brother really is watching

Hi Keith

This is why I hid my CMPs in the barn. I live under a military training flight path so we get the odd flights of military birds over the house a couple of times a month. About once a month we will get a flight of from two to six C130 flying what they call terrain following missions, these are the guys fly who down to Antarctica, have even seen the ski equipped C130s go over.

Was talking to the navigator of one a C130 at an airshow and asked him about their flight path, he asked where did I live and I showed him on chart, his response was no wonder you see us a lot, the lake in front of your house is a turning point.

Had all three trucks parked out in the door yard one time and heard a Huey coming over low and passing by only to return a little while later and go into a slow circle, so either they spotted the truck or the neighbor lady is sun bathing in the nude.

Cheers Phil

Exclamation

Now this could be classed as giving away military secrets. Punishable by death, but beware it could be well orchestrated set up to entice the raiders into the spiders "Webb"
