Where I live is right between 2 public airport 1 joint air force navy base and 1 classified (can't be seen on Google maps) national guard base. It is getting rather noises here between the everyday planes flying over and the military, as I am typing this I am watching chinook to training exercise out the window. Along with this the Lockheed Martin factory near me has just finished making a new batch of F-35 (that are really loud) flying out for the past week. Just the other day I happened to be off of SP and outside when 2 F-22s and 1 F-16 decided to "buzz" my house, my brother said everything on the walls in the house where shaking. Now onto the worst part, NIGHT OPS are sooooooooo annoying, trust me it is no fun waking up to a sub-sonic jet flying 6,000 feet above your house. This has been going on for the past 2 days. So what going on? The last time there was this much air traffic was in 2010, could the military be mobilizing for something the US government won't tell us (that was my political side). So have y'all noticed anything let me know!
@Thehtmguy I know the feeling
I live on a mountain just 30 miles of the nearest military airbase 10 miles from the next military training camp and 27 miles from an airport. When the military is doing their mortar drills, i feel it. Any aircraft? I hear em. Its pretty darn cool!
@JetstreamAeronauticalEngineering I live in tornado alley too! I wish I could look out my window and see a Chinook.
My nan and pops place is in new castle Australia Nsw and there was a f-35 or some othe twin tail plane afterburnin' every half hour. oh my goodness the slow mo camera on the Windows!
Same I live like 70 miles away from a regional airport and there are like I want to say 10 flights a day and the biggest plane I've seen there was a A319 and it's just mainly Q-400s that fly in and out of there@Doge27
@KingDeadshot @AnarchistAerospaceIndustries @Ngoat @Forwind @TheMasterSoldier @MrSilverWolf @Doge27 @Flightsonic @AeroEngineering @Sirstupid @TheLatentImage guess who is deciding to do night ops again.... THE MILITARY!!!! well I'm not going to get good sleep tonight
At my grandmothers house, she lives about a mile from the airport, so you hear 737's and DC's/MD's go in for landing every once in a while. Thing is, if lucky, we usually might see a few jets soar past (during an air show)... Best part, a C-130 LEGIT flew near our house, touched (landing) and went right back up, and did that like 5 TIMES!! Also we do see unmarked grey military planes fly once in a while around our city.. It's so cool, I even saw a pack of F-16's near the shores of Lake Michigan, and it was SOO loud.. Okay last thing, I saw a V-22 OSPREY fly past my grandparents house... Now if you think I'm lying, then I feel bad for you, since you will never see what I saw..
A couple months before winter here me and my father where out disking some fields before winter. So we are going along just fine he is done with his field and I'm about half way done win mine. Then I hear the rumble of a jet. My dad radios me (we had some small CB radios) asking if I see that F 15. I look up to see a lone F 15 DIVEING at my tractor. I almost jumped out of the thing from the feeling that I was about to get a face full of lead. The guy roars past at a good 1000 ft. The sonic boom felt like a train hitting you. So that's my story.
Same, were I live there are no fighters. The only time I see them is on the 4th of July and there just 2 F-15s and that's not every year it's just every now and then they do it... @Sirstupid
@Doge27 dang that far, just don't get injured enough to require life flight
No airports near me, unless you want to get sued because you are on private land, the nearest is 60 miles away
@JetstreamAeronauticalEngineering oh wow, that's cool
@Flightsonic I also work at one of the airports near me, but that a story for another
@Flightsonic more or less
Well that why you play SimplePlanes
DUN DUN DUUUUU! @AeroEngineering
They are definatly up to something
@JetstreamAeronauticalEngineering hmmm
@Sirstupid lol
@AeroEngineering I thought I head someone say the military is deploying somewhere
@JetstreamAeronauticalEngineering There is no correct response to that.
@Sirstupid GONA TO GIVE YOU UP NEVER GONA LET YOU DOWN!!!!!!
@JetstreamAeronauticalEngineering NEVER. Never. never... (starts to cry in the corner)
Two F-15 E Eagles were flying over my school today at lunch and when school got out, and a coast guard dolphin helicopter flew over us about every 10 minutes. I think something is up..
@Sirstupid I really bad for you :( are there any air shows that happen somewhere near you, that would be a great way to see some
