Touch-n-go
This morning, as I was leaving the beach, I noticed a helicopter coming in to land on the helipad. I didn't think much of it at first, assuming it was a medical transport. But then I looked closer, and realized it was a military-looking aircraft. It landed, but the rotors kept running. And then it took off again, almost immediately. I heard it several additional times throughout the day. I guess the pilots from the Air Base at Cherry Point were practicing touch and go landings. Bet they don't mind doing it out here - at least the scenery is gorgeous!

That's an Osprey! I saw them practicing while I was on the Island last week.
Hi Tom! Thanks for letting me know the name of the helicoper. As you can tell, I'm somewhat clueless about military aircraft (although I have HEARD of the Osprey, and at least I knew enough to recognize that that thing was SOMETHING military!) :)
Thanks for continuing to read and comment!
