This is one of the funniest Cosby things I’ve ever seen. This is what happens when you get him in the same room with a true Southern matriarch from North, SC, which is apparently south of Due West, SC.
My younger brother “discovered” North Field last week…to him it was a great big surprise that C-17s were doing touch and goes there. I’d known for dozens of years about the place, how he didn’t know…I don’t know.
But they still do practice landings there.

When I was with NAVFAC…I was the QA for the North field runway repaving project. Went there everyday. The dirt roads in there take you to the headwaters of the Edisto River. It’s only about 10 feet wide. Lots of Pecan trees there as well. A neat place to be.
Saw my first F-117 Nighthawk and watched a bunch of C-17’s at that field. Buddy of mine was in a reserve unit out of Columbia and North is where they did all of their practice jumps.
