We have one, sounds like a big one, flies low, lazy circles starting around 8:00 or so at night and sometimes goes on for a few hours. It has been going on for a few years now, off and on. What the freaking hell are they doing? Panama City is a little po-dunk town. What could we be doing here to need surveillance like that?
You guys ....Ahhh....we just watched one at work last night...6pm...very slow...too low...wow
Is the plane you see/hear a C130? If so, it might be a test flight after repairs have been made at a Dothan, Alabama, repair facility. They overfly Dothan quite often. In fact, when I first saw these birds, I thought of ELINT or surveillance activities but later learned of the repair facility. It might also be some Air Force reservists getting in their flight time as well.
It is weird, isn’t it?
