That was a detonation in support of an open house event at an Air Force Base. I don't remember which one, because there were so many. It's basically an explosion from a simulated bomb dropped by an aircraft as it flew over. I always got a kick out of the reaction of the accompanying pilot we had with us on the ground to give us a heads-up on the approaching aircraft. During the pre-event briefing, I'd always tell them that we ought to put a 25 pound keg of nails on the C-4 to give the aircraft a real-life experience. Oddly, they never thought it was a good idea - lol.

This is a very useful skill indeed. We have a guy and I'd pay whatever it would take to keep him. Guys like you can pretty well install and/or repair anything given the time and the tools.
