Watching a turboprop do a short field night landing at Goose Creek with no runway lights was awesome… just two guys with red flashlights on each side of the runway as markers.. I was gonna ask one of them what was going on, but when I saw an automatic weapon across his chest, I just started backtracking into the hangar J
It was a cool thing to see! Too bad it was so dark we couldn’t see what kind of a plane it was… I’m guessing PC-6 out of Pope?

Careful Rad, They were looking for secret agent Sargent.

It was probably Col. Sargent piloting the plane!
Rad, your project is at the airport now?

More like a PC-6 full of dope...
(What's a PC-6, anyway?) Sounds like an interesting story; strange goings-on.

We were working on Tad's plane.. conditional inspection time.. Mine's still
in the garage (another few months).
Stormy, I'm guessing it was a Pilatus PC-6.. at least that's what it seemed
to be (a large turboprop taildragger).. but it was way too dark to tell for
sure.
PS. There was a lot of shooting going on at the airport (blanks, of course)
prior to arrival of that plane.. a few of those guys were hiding between
hangars.. looked like a movie.

Sometimes "special" groups get permission from the owner of fields with certain characteristics to do some "practice". The automatic was probably very much loaded. And the odds are very good that these were NOT the "bad guys".
In such cases, they really don't want disruptions, I would say.
You probably did the right thing.

Len,
Must be a low budget movie, having to use Goose Creek as a backdrop.

Rad,
You should have called the FBI and 911. It would have been interesting
when the guys with the real guns showed up.
