This reminds me of a somewhat similar experience I had several years ago. As I came around a bend on my way to Lexington, KY - approaching Bluegrass Field - I saw something projecting above the surrounding terrain. It was the rounded top of the tail of an old aircraft. In fact, I said aloud "That looks like the tail of a WWII bomber."
As the road rose near the airport, I saw that it was a B-29. Beyond it was a B-25. The Confederate Air Force was in town.
Were you at the RiverCon where some of the GT folk went to the Patton Museum?
Not sure how this got in the wrong place the first time. I was distracted by problems with my Bluetooth mouse.
