There are two military jets flying above |
|
my school. For about 30 minutes now, they have been circling and twirling in the sky, flying very low, right above my school.
I used to live by an air base and we went to the air show every year, but I don't ever remember seeing only two jets doing any routines for the air show.
There is no air base nearby and no airport either. This is just very odd.

2. Maybe some dorkass Top Gun and his Wing Man are showing off |
|
for their betrothed; using up government fuel and wearing out government equipment to impress someone while doing a cross country training exercise.
It happens...

6. Well that's good to know |
|
It is just kinda odd. The first time they went overhead it was interesting. The third time it got strange.

9. that happened here too about a year ago |
|
It was creepy. We are about 20 minutes from LAX and there was no air traffic at all in the sky except for these 2 military jets, flying over from from east to west about every 8 minutes. They were so low the pictures on the walls were shaking. They did this for about 45 minutes or so, every 8 minutes on the dot, then stopped. I made calls to the local news stations to find out what was going on and no one knew and nothing was reported about it.

23. My co-worker just said |
|
to tell you to ask them to stay above your house since we are busy trying to leave no children behind here.
LOL One of my kids just said "Wow there goes that explosion sound again!" And another one said "No, those are bullets!"
