hyper attentive?
17 August 2005 12:01I've lived under airport landing lanes before, but now we're about 45 miles from the Bangor airport so we don't see all that many jets up close. We *do* see a fair number of National Guard training things, but otherwise...
So, when over our house we hear a large jet making a pretty sharp left turn, we go outside to look. And to wonder. At one point in my life a simple glance would have told me "which" jet it was.. these days I only know that it was a large two engine jet -- could be Boeing or Airbus -- and when last seen it had completed it's turn and was making a beeline for Bangor.
While we've got some interesting clouds the current local radar shows nothing of a storm... so maybe the pilot just forgot his lunch.
Sad that what was once merely interesting now is a concern.
