Sooo, there is a C-17 that lands off-base with a "caravan" of cargo trucks that arrive in "minutes" and the aircraft returns to MacDill at exactly 8:27 pm yesterday but the General Aviation airport is "is temporarily closed as the Air Force works to move the plane."
Yeah, nothing strange about that.
