Dover Air Force Flight Recalled For Weather

A lot of people stood out in the weather in their yards today to get a

glimpse of the behemoth C-17 Globemaster III. The flight would have

made a great addition to the landscape backdrop where I was fishing

near Lewes. After thirty minutes of casting and a few short bass I

packed it in, I was wet and cold, no plane. Feels like a nasty winter day,

and will be worse come Saturday. Snow? Maybe? Really? I mean at

this point sure why not. Maybe it will freeze the murder hornets.

The flight crew did mange a showing around Newark for Christiana

Care and a few people got pictures before the flight was recalled.

There is no information for a rescheduled flight, and doesn’t sound like

there will be.
