Ten minutes later I saw a car pull up to that spot and a carload of airmen got out and started throwing chickens in the water! That explains the charge. I ended up reporting the 9 ft gator so they could put him on the ''needs to go list ''come alligator season.
I had wanted to take a pic and send it to americas funniest videos . They( Air Force ) had a sign ' Please don't feed the alligators ' right there on the bank,..... about 4 ft from a swing set for the kids to play on!!!
This in Bossier City? Been to Barksdale a few times on business back in the 90s. Stationed at Carswell AFB - another B52 base now closed - we traded parts all the time. Most of the time we met halfway in Tyler Texas.
