Because of the Marine Air Station Yuma planes such as the new F35 jets, Super Stallion helicopters and Ospreys, with their rotatable engines, are constantly flying maneuvers over our Foothills home. Quite often they may be going to the Barry Goldwater Bomb Range, or other military sites in the eastern part of Yuma County. It is only when MCAS has open house, and you can see these craft up close, can you realize just how large they are. Several are shown below.
While noise from four Super Stallions in formation or a couple of Ospreys can be bothersome (pictures rattling on the walls, obliterated TV sound) we must be tolerant because they all have the goal of protecting this country. So the best thing we can do is salute them as they fly overhead.
