I am on vacation at Lake Chelan in Easter Washington.
This is the 3rd deepest lake in all of the States and is fed by the mighty Columbia River.
My son and I were fishing off a ferry dock this a.m. and two C17 airlift craft came flying down the canyon VERY low and slow.
I go so excited as I knew they were practicing sneaking into a drop zone with S.F. probably on the way to Moses Lake.
I was pumping my fists yelling “Hell Yeah!!” And feeling so proud of my country as these pilots and crews... making piddling money were working and training to protect our nation.
I was also amazed at how quiet they were having grown up adjacent to Mcchord AFB near Tacoma and I know how loud the C130s and C10s were....just amazing how quiet these newer engines are.
The C-17 is just awesome.
