anyone else noticing jet flyovers in the SF north/east bay?

We've had six in the past 10 minutes. Make that 7.

We're about 20 miles south of Travis AFB.

They usually don't do low level training anywhere close to built up areas or heavy shipping lanes.

It's just weird. I live out in the burbs and am used to police helicopter searches but these are something different.

Number 8 just flew over our house.
