We live North West of China Lake and have noticed a drop in flights but it could be that I haven’t been around all the time. What I did notice that was out of the ordinary were five C-17s orbit my area for about 20 minutes one day. But who knows? Probably better to talk to a base personnel.
I live less than 10 miles from a Naval Air Station and I track aircraft via ADS-B using a Raspberry Pi and Flightaware software, I compile statistics on a daily basis and I’ve not seen any change in the pattern for months, based on historical information you can just about predict what days will have heavy traffic and what days will have very little traffic....

Go to Radar view - tracking map, then filter for military aircraft. You can see what they will allow you to see.
Gets pretty interesting sometimes.
I live 10 miles south of Minot AFB. I haven’t seen any change in normal training flights.
I’m guessing flight ops have been curbed way back until crews get their covid vaccines and have completed all of the Critical Race Theory training.
Or they could be in the middle of their transgender surgery.
The world is a t PEACE, now that the Democrats are in charge.
If anything, there is about 25% more traffic since 1/20. Some days more, some less. YMMV.
A flurry of traffic in/out of Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay NAS lately, now and for the last couple of weeks.
I would also suspect the Afghanistan withdrawal reduced the rotations of guard and reserve into overseas deployments which also reduces the rate of stateside training before deployment.
We lived n the flight path for Wright-Pat - there were days when we would go out and watch the giant transports circling waiting to land - it was a spectacular and very loud sight.
Flight training has been swapped out for equity training.
You need to follow Monkey Werx. There is way over normal military activity everyday. Flights in and out of Gitmo are up 900%.
I was thinking the same thing about a week ago.
Live near Army base and it has been quiet, quiet, quiet.
Come to Virginia Beach, F-18’s and E-2’s the other day they fly right overhead ,NAS Oceana is about a mile from where I work. They don’t fly every day but when they do you know it.
They have been very busy having drag queen shows and repainting the planes rainbow colors. It takes a lot of time to study “white rage” because they have to do search missions to find it.
Miley ordered them to switch to neutron bombs to target Trump areas.
