My wife was driving, and I was riding, past the Seneca Army Depot (the place where they keep all the bombs, for you Soviets on the net :-)) when I saw a chopper circling the airfield. I noticed that there was a C-5A on the runway that looked like it was getting ready to take off. Being airplane freaks, we decided to pull over and watch this beast take off. We had no more than pulled onto the shoulder of NYS Rt. 96, then we had a Army security vehicle behind us and an armed guard approaching us. After telling him we didn't have car trouble, we were politely, but firmly, told to leave. I can understand the security issues involved here, but I've always wondered if he had the legal right to order us off NYS, NOT Federal, land. Comments? *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
