Out in the sticks = a very rural area

Fly in the mud over my house = they flew very low, close to the ground 

Tail number = registration number (like a license plate on a car), painted on or near the tail of the plane.

The gist of the story is that planes would fly very low over his house, going from the military base to practice shooting and bombing, often flying so low that he could read the small markings painted on the planes. 

Volk and Westfield are placenames, I would guess somewhere not in America (but I could be wrong). "Volk" sounds quite germanic to me.

Volk Field is an ANG base in Wisconsin.

Westfield is about 50 miles east of Volk Field.

Hey! Thanks guys/gals! This helps clear things up a bit. Still a bit of an odd way of saying “ya they flew pretty low” if you ask me, but my friend isnt the sharpest tool in the shed, if you know what i mean lol. He once got caught cheating at a family friendly Brewers mini-marathon so what should I really really expect. (Haha jokes) This is the picture he sent to the guy who called him out for skipping timing mats. Haha. Great friend just a little weird sometimes.

 

Nice forum you guys have. Thanks for being so helpful! Have a food day!
