And there was a lot of air traffic over the past week, for example, this C-130.
And this Navy E2 Hawkeye. This one was several miles out and hard to "draw in" on the camera.
According to this website, "The Hawkeye provides all-weather airborne early warning, airborne battle management and command and control functions for the Carrier Strike Group and Joint Force Commander." There's another photo of an E2 on Columbia Spy HERE.
Two military helicopters, probably Apaches, flew over the other day.
Here's a close-up of one of them.
This is a Coast Guard helicopter bearing the label "Atlantic City."
There were also lots of contrails ("jet trails") . . .

There was another vivid sunset Thursday evening . . .

Pit stop
This property at 245 South 5th is one of three properties slated for demolition.
