I did a recent freelance assignment for a publication about local mosquito control efforts post-Hurricane Rita. I mentioned that the U.S. Air Force had been enlisted to help local mosquito control officials in Jefferson County, Texas, fly mosquito missions using C-130 transport planes. Little did I realize how big and how close they look when they are flying a few hundred feet above your home. Jeez Louise! I thought the twin-engine Cessna the mosquito district uses to dive-bomb was “close-in-air support.” Seeing these C-130s up close, up above are downright scary. But I hope they smoke a lot of those little f*****s.
