This should be an easy cache and dash off of Higby Road.
For a while now I have been wanting to do a cache series. This series is to show cachers around military aircraft, popular and not popular. Please park on the pull-over west of the cache to make the find. You should NOT try to find this cache around morning when school buses are around and when people are getting off school and work. Cache is available in winter if the hint is used. Be sure to get the 2 for 1 with nearby benchmark KK0272.
