Having stood on the other side of the hill in B'dale I won't tell you 
what it looked like? Where we live now off the Atlantic Coast we have a 
good number of choppers that fly over... the house vibrates... I run 
outside to see them. Same as I run outside when Santa goes by once a 
year on the fire truck. At night with clear sky we watch the airliners 
to and from Europe overhead. A steady stream. We live very close to 
where Flight 800 went down. The local airport where the banners fly out 
of they also have gliders... sorta clumsy looking not as nice as sail 
planes - but I get the impression that with only Ocean or Sound or NYC 
to encounter that nobody would want to go a great distance without 
power. Then a bit further out East there is a small private strip w/ 
ultralites & sky diving. Often the local news in the Pennysavers is some 
numnuts that did himself in flying an ultralite into a power line or 
whatever... about as common as the report of a boat collapsing in the 
inlet in January. Recently on a trip out to Southampton I saw Shinnecock 
Canal is froze over. On occasion we get a bunch of Grumman Cats out for 
a lark, and there is at least one stunt pilot who likes to practice out 
over the beach on days when there are not likely to be many ppl there.
