Well today I went and played golf at Hill AFB.   The course is just a few 
hundred yards to the side of the active runway.   Mannnnnnnn, talk about 
distractions.  hehehe.   During our 4 hour game we saw about 100 F-16's 
land and take off.   It was a non-stop airshow.  The cool thing is that the 
golf course is right under the landing pattern.   so the jets would fly 
down the runway and then turn right over our heads for the down-wind 
leg.  some awesome stuff.   We also saw lots of A-10's take off and they 
were soooo quiet compared to the 16's.   I have no clue how i played the 
game as i was always watching the aircraft fly around.   Hill is also 
building a new hanger for the new B-2 depot repair contract they got so it 
looks like we will  be seeing some B-2's up there.   That'll be very 
cool.   :-))))

I figured I'd tell you guys about my day since not to many others would be 
interested.   :-)
