Toledo F-16's 07-31-10
Toledo F-16's have been doing a lot of flying lately. The BRAVE flights are Oklahoma F-16's flying out of Alpena. That info was confirmed from another source that was up at Alpena.
Also if you heard a STONE flight in the past 2 weeks. That would be AV-8B Harriers, also flying out of Alpena. I saw 3 of them there on Thursday july 15th. I was also at Grayling Range that day, but the range has been closed to the public until July 31st.
