It is huge and seems to have a blueish green colour from what I could see.

I haven't heard a droning like that in years.

Ok, now i know something is going on. I just saw a CF-18 Hornet go by.

"Canada is under attack. Repeat: Canada is under attack. The tank has been mobilized."

But there is one is St. Thomas which is not far from here. It must have something to do with this because I just saw a fly by of 5 CF-18 Hornets. Holy crap they're loud.

Further research shows that the 4 prop job may have been a C-130 HERCULES.

C-130's are about the worst airplane ride you'll ever experience. I've flown in em maybe 50+ times.

My first time ever in a plane was in the cargo hold of a Herc when I was 16. It was fun!

I saw a B-17 (? - it was a 4-engine US WWII bomber with a normal tail (IIRC)) fly over my school last week. Pretty cool stuff.

Actually the best ride is laying down on the ramp in the back.

I always just burrowed into the pile of duffle bags. That was usually after the poker game that always seemed to break out on those things. And the drinking.

Best ride is when the light goes green and you're standing in the door. :Q
