got a strange message from Internet explorer before trying to post this one ... Were the jets headed toward D.C. or were they headed toward the Atlantic?

Run-in for a military funeral at Arlington Cemetery.

Usually done on a different axis but depending upon where the burial plot is, can fly over Rockville.

We had a lot of them after 9/11. What part of Rockville are you located? I’m in Rockville and didn’t hear a thing. ( I am assuming someone got into the air space... happens enough times for it to be relatively common)

btw .. this is the second report in the past two days from Maryland of which am aware. One yesterday, one today. Don't know about other reports. If it goes tomorrow, more jets, and no airshow one would have to wonder if someone in the Military or at the Pentagon is making a statement, or perhaps simply a flyer's prank.

I used to get similar calls when I was stationed in England. I just asked: “Were they American?” Yes, they said. I responded with: “You’re welcome.”

They're fighter-bombers headed for Montgomery County Elementary schools just like like the one I attended.

The first wave drops the cukes, then come the condoms.

Word has it Obama and the NEA got the idea from those Air Force Bake Sale bumper stickers.

Rockville is on the route between the White House and Camp David. In the 1970’s I remember seeing convoys of about 3 Marine choppers flying overhead a lot.

At Beaufort they used to ask complainers "Are you sure they're ours?"

see post #6 (if have not already). This sound like the logical answer. Prayers for All our People buried at Arlington.

Would imagine that with the islamic countries on fire, security is high for the Maryland, DC, Virginia area.
