Anyone know what these are? They are near the mouth of the Neuse on Piney Island in the red circles. Just curious.

Bombing Range, if you look close enough there are some old tanks an trucks down there for targets.

It's the bombing range. If you zoom in enough with Google maps you can see the craters.

The later D and Es must have changed that. The A and early Ds didn't have good track records.

Probably the Viper version as I think the Whiskey's are all gone or about to be like the Phrog. Last flight was a few days ago.

The A's you always needed 10 extra to canabalize. I was just a mere grunt in Uncle SAMs School for Wayward Boys. Aka United States Army Rangers. But i understood there were fellas out there with much bigger guns and always learned what I could about what would be giving me cover and exit.

I was with Uncle Sams Misguided Children, when I finally made to the combat arms side of the house I didn't want to walk anymore so I rode in style in a hog (aka M1A1).
