Stickman: What’s Up At Pappy’s Field?
Stickman:
I see all sorts of private planes flying over my area to land of course at the Coeur d’Alene airport, like the Duane’s and all sorts of fancy dancers as I call them. Tonight, around 5:30 or so, a different plane could be heard from way out. I knew exactly that it wasn’t a fancy dancer. It was a war plane as I call them, much louder
and with much more force and vigor. I would say an F-18 Falcon, or Super Falcon maybe. It came in low and hard and had my heart a jumpin’. It landed at Pappy’s field for sure, as I could here it all the way from here. My question, does anyone know why? It might have something to so with the B-17 that has been at Felts field lately and will be till Sunday. If you have any urge to visit a piece of History, Felts Field will be it this weekend. You can actually ride in that plane if you have a lot of spare change. I don’t, but seeing that war plane today raised all of the hairs on my body, and still does. Does anyone know more than I do, as I would surely appreciate any and all information on what is going on at Pappy’s field this weekend. I will be there in a second if anyone can guide me.

Question: Can someone answer Stickman’s question about the war plane and what may be happening at Pappy Boyington’s Field at the county airport?
