EC-24A spotted over Marietta

[neilca]

So we were laying around the neighborhood pool and saw what I thought was a DC8 flying over head. I haven't seen one of these in years. My wife spotted the roundels and said it was military. Then we noticed the belly antennae. So when we got home I Googled it. Seems this aircraft was decommissioned on 1998. SUPWITDAT?

I heard but didn't see several military aircraft last night in Sandy Springs sitting out by the pool. I figured the were on maneuvers out of Dobbs.

Is there another fly-in at the Cobb airport?

Sure it wasn't a J-STARS?

I think it probably was a J-STARS. Makes more sense. Wiki says they are still in service at Robbins. Not what we usually see over Marietta.
