There's an unusual amount of police and fire activity around Connecticut & K in the last 20 minutes also.

The 10th Annual Air and Sea Show concluded yesterday evening. We had the Blue Angels, the Canadian Snow Birds, a marina amphibious assault on the beach, an aircraft carrier, Harriers, Copters, parachutists and a fly around with an Eagle Jet, an F14 and a propeller fighter WWII vintage in the middle slightly in the lead. It was awesome.
Maybe 2 of them were on their way home?

[TBall]

Maybe they were flying low because they wanted to land at Reagan National Airport.

I live in Fort Lauderdale, in the last three days I have seen the following aircraft flying around the city: B-2 bomber (2X), an entire squadron of F-18's in formation, an assortment of F-14's and F-15's, and cobra attack helo's. I also could swear I could see an aircraft carrier just off the coast. Every few minuets, all weekend long it sounded as if the sky was being ripped open... what's going on?

I am serious (sp?)

I bet your happy you asked this question in the form of a post...

Any USAAC/USAAF/USAF interments at Arlington today rating a fly-by? Usually they come through in a fourship of two pairs, with one ship pulling up at the last moment to create the "missing man" ...

I heard F-16s over Tempe yesterday (Sunday), which is fairly infrequent around here. They didn't fly directly overhead, but the distinctive howl of the F-16 is unmistakable.

[McGruff]

This reminds me of the recent thread about low flying F-16s over Texas. After all the joking it turned out to be a small plane that flew over Pres. Bush's ranch and had to be forced down.

[FoxPro]

I live down the street from you. I saw them to. Pretty cool.

[spodefly]

There is a small plane (a J3, I believe) towing a banner around Atlanta. It's for GMAC Mortgage, if I am reading it right.

I doubt it's related to the DC F-16s though. F-16s suck at towing banners.

[StayAt HomeMother]

Local NBC news just said fighters will be overhead Wednesday and Thursday, flying exercises low over the Potomac and the Distirct.

FYI, was surfing the USAF site and found the answer for you ... they were up this way to perform a ceremonial fly-by over Arlington. See: http://www.af.mil/photos/ , click on the Viper fourship thumbnail (titled "Forming Up") in the lower right hand side of the thumbnails.
