As someone who has lived in the Ocala National Forest for a number of years and has heard the military jets dropping munitions at the U.S. Navy's Pinecastle Bombing Range and has felt the ground shake when they do it I am well aware of the fear many forest residents have about a crash. I remember the walls shaking in our home and wondering to myself just how close those planes were and how easy it would be for a mistake to be made. I not only feared the planes crashing but a pilot error that released a bomb to close to the house. Our home in the forest seems to be on some flight path and it is not uncommon to watch airplanes in the sky all the time.
