00-0182, the Martinsburg C17 that started in Germany, then flew across to Pease, during the night made a short stop at home at KMRB and then flew down to Pope (Ft. Liberty) where he landed this morning. Busy aircraft. REACH-776.

Woke up at 530 this morning, 15 minutes later a C17 buzzed the house at 3000ft with its engines screaming. Must have been loaded to the max as usually outbound from Liberty is higher by 3-5k when it comes over.

Another came in about 30 minutes later from Germany and it looks like RCH993 took off about 30 or so ago. Lots of flights in/out of Liberty since they were put on standby for deployment to the Middle East.

DOD put out an announcement this morning which mentioned the Eisenhower and then went on:

"The department also directed to the region a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense battery from Fort Bliss, Texas, and additional Patriot missile battalions from both Fort Liberty, North Carolina, and Fort Sill, Oklahoma."

Poor piloting again overseas.. Notice the J-11 pilot has to throw on his F-15 style airbrake when approaching too fast.
