A couple of nights a week a large airplane circles Pensacola for hours.  Does anyone know if this is the airforce or navy and what they are doing?

most likely a Herc out of Hurlbert field. There's lots of flight training going on here. I doubt it's a T-34C because our training flights don't last for "hours." Big brother is watching...muahahah

they are flying right now. Flyboy used to be on them last year. sometimes they come here from Jacksonville and Eglin. I think flyboy said they use Pensacola's airspace to practice instrument landings because there isn't much air traffic around here after dark. Last year I thought a plane was in trouble and dumping fuel before an emergency landing but I got the real story from PFF.
