3 sets of bombers, flanked by two escort fighter jets apiece...

[Teaser]

just passed overhead within the last 10 minutes.

Is this some normal protocol?

[flvegan]

1. Beer run for the officer's club.

[Pierre.Suave]

9. That has to be it

they were out of Fat Tire and 1554, and it was absolutely necessary they go get as much as possible.

[Pierre.Suave]

2. Are you in Minneapolis MN?

Because I just saw 2 ANG F-16s go overhead in one hell of a hurry awfully low.

4. Philadelphia, PA

5. About half an hour ago...

before the wave of 3 bombers we had a pair of F-16s practically right above the treetops. I thought my windows were done for.

[Haole Girl]

3. I just heard fighter jets, too

hmm... maybe there are a lot of exercises today? :shrug:

[Pierre.Suave]

6. Weird

I wonder what is going on...

(goes to CNN to see whats up...)

[GOPisEvil]

7. Well, it's Memorial Day.

Could it be something related to that?

[Haole Girl]

8. There's probably an air show...

in our area. :hi:

[Teaser]

12. Do bombers need escorts for an air show?

I don't know. Is it standard protocol? And what can a bomber do for an airshow anyway? They can't very well drop munitions on it....or maybe they drop turkeys...

*puzzles*

[GOPisEvil]

13. Maybe it was just a flyover.

[lost-in-nj]

10. It's Air show season

maybe you have one by you????

I will NEVER forget the year the Army/Navy game was here at the Meadowlands

jets of every size, color and whatever went over for a week

I was pretty freaked until someone said the game was being played.....



lost

11. Probably an air show.

The Blue Angels were practicing over my sister's neighborhood when I was there last week. It always freaks me out wondering if someone is going to make a mistake and crash into the neighborhood. :scared:

[LibertyLover]

16. Every commisioning week we get the Blue Angels practice

runs right over the house and a day or so later the air show for the Naval Academy commisioning week. My dogs hate it and try to hide and my 5 year old cries.

[Mutley]

17. Omg, haha.

My sister lives in Annapolis, too. :D

[LibertyLover]

19. Cool - tell her hi for me.

:hi:

[Ptah]

14. What kind of bombers?

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Happens here every so often when a Naval Air tag/squadron goes out n/t

[SPKrazy]

18. There is no normal protocol

the andromeda strain has arrived



beware, it may just seem like a TV show, but it is actually a tabletop drill planned to simulate the actual viral agent that has been discovered in the wreckage of an interdimensional craft that crashed at Roswell in 1947.

:shrug:
