I noticed those three airplanes too. At approximately 12:49-pm today, what looked like three C-130, 4-propeller cargo or tanker planes, colored dark green flew in a line from south to north between Timber & Governors Isl and up over the passage between Bear and Horse Islands.

At the time, I was down the end of my dock in the brite mid-day sun, feeding some cheese-its to a canada goose (it loves cheese-its) that shows up this time of year......and seeing the three planes sort of flying toward me....I took off my baseball cap and started waving it around at the 3-planes.....and lo & behold...the second plane seemed to dip its left wing down and up in response as it flew past me....no-fool'n! These were some large military planes!

So's, how about that......and anchors away.......ppppfffftttt!
