Likewise and more. The Buffs used to fly almost directly overhead on their landing pattern for Carswell. I lived just west (1/4 mile or so)of the primary runway and just north of the West Freeway. I could almost count rivets as they flew overhead. Always a treat to see them as well as comforting to know they were always on the job.

Sometimes, since the runway is rated for them, a BUFF will come back home and shoot touch and goes for a half day.

I hear them, and I know them. And Icget a warm fuzzy.

I always go out and watch them and listen to them on the VHF. They still fly around here sometimes. Makes me feel like a kid.
