Townsend Range Turkey Shoot

Townsend Range's annual Turkey Shoot will take place tomorrow, April 25, at the range in McIntosh County, GA. Aircraft from various units will take part in a competition of bombing and aerial gunnery accuracy. Based on what I've heard recently while monitoring Townsend Range, participants should come from F/A-18s from MCAS Beaufort, F-16s from the 169th Fighter Wing from South Carolina, A-10s from the 23rd Wing at Moody and Pope AFBs, and AH-64s from 3-3 AVN at Hunter AAF. There will likely be other participants as well.
