Of all the uninhabited keys around here, it is curious to me why the U.S. military would choose to perform F15 fighter training maneuvers right over this inhabited one frequented by visitors from all over!
They are unbelievably loud, even drowning out the air hammers from the fort restoration project ( a project sure to be longer lasting and more costly than Boston's Big Dig).
It even shakes the fort's walls! Not an easy thing as some of them are 17' thick at the base.
On the good side, if there's an incursion by Cuba, at least the military knows how to get here.

Are you sure they're not just LOST - maybe it's 'Crashypants' McCain out for a joyride?
I think their "exercises" and subsequent sonic booms might be related to the big hunks of the fort falling off into the moat.
