The Air Force squadron flies A-10 Warthogs; the Marines fly several different types of helicopter, and there seem to be a number of Navy choppers as well. ALL of them have been conducting training missions which seem to fly directly over our house, with increasing frequency as the war in Kosovo has heated up. The pilots seem to take particular pleasure in creating as much noise as possible...military engines must be deliberately designed to be louder than anything else, to intimidate the enemy, or deafen them, whichever comes first. One Sunday just after the bombing had begun in Serbia, we were sitting in silent meeting for worship at our Quaker meetinghouse (which has been there *much* longer than the naval air station but which is now directly in the flight path), meditating on the death and destruction our air force was inflicting...when two Warthogs flew over at about 500 feet, low enough to make the windows rattle. In a straight line from the airfield, there must be a dozen churches of as many different denominations, all of which would have been holding services right then.
