They would fly by the house literally within a few hundred yards then maybe 20 minutes later would repeat the same thing and keep doing so for an hour or so. I never did know what they were actually doing.

Probably either using the practice ranges (target practice) or touch-and-go (pattern and landing practice).

There was a bombing range close enough that I could hear and feel it when they bombed or strafed with the vulcan and I never did hear them.

Now there was an auxiliary field not too far away. Field 2 was also the field the Tokyo Raiders used as it was in the middle of nowhere.
