I'm sure there's no cause for alarm, but I told her I'd ask the FReepers.

Anybody know anything?

We had fighter jets overhead today too, though it could be because I'm about a mile from the north threshold of an air station. ;)

A day without military jets overhead worries me.

Practicing for an airshow, maybe? There seem to be a lot of air shows in the fall.

Roanoke VA?

(your post is unbecoming of a FReeper, even for a vanity)

I live South of Roanoke, and though not frequent, it isn’t unusual to see military aircraft.

I live fairly close to both Eglin and Tyndall yet I never see jet fighters. I guess I am just not near their flight patterns.

I do sometimes see C-130 Spectre gun ships, usually just before night but sometimes in the middle of the day.

Study VR-routes and military training.
Find out if there are any military funerals with "Fly-Bys" in your area.
Finally, look at VFR Map Digital Areronautical Chart and use your pim to move it over to Roanoke and check out the airways andf airports in your area.

There is a low level route that is not frequently used. I flew it once in an F-15E because the range on the coast was fogged in.
