I live near a military base and I haven't heard this much activity since the start of the war.

[screembloodymurder]

Does anyone else notice an increase in military air traffic?

1. They're getting ready for a military coup

God I hope that's just paranoid ranting on my part

3. Maybe the military can save the nation and save the planet from the Neocons.

The U.S. has become a banana republic, but one that is uber-powerful.

4. More likely that Operation Nukular Slapdown is happening.

Bush wants to cement his legacy as the Preemptive President.

11. After 911 how can we trust them to do what is in our best

interest? We are watchful and fearful of every move.

2. Strange...

I live in Galveston, TX, and on the way in to work this morning 2 fighters took off from our local airport and headed towards Houston.

5. Gotta get those nukes back where they belong

before Gates finds out they were moved.

6. Iran???

7. A Chinook just flew over my house.

About five minutes ago.

8. We live right under the flightway from Westover to Dover, and I haven't heard many

C-5s or 141s or 130s flying over in the last few days; when there's an increase in "activity" I usually notice it.

Though I WILL say that I've seen far more helicopters than usual in the last few days. That may not mean anything, because a many of the shakedown flights of new helicopters from Sikorsky go over us...so I can't offer an opinion about whether "something is up" or not.

But if I see the MH-130s going over tonight with only their formation lights on, as I've seen before, I'll know. And will advise accordingly.

14. Thanks.

Sounds like you're in a position to know.

[babylonsister]

9. Possibly because the illegal occupation is surging again? nt

[Echo In Light]

10. A very loud jet or something flew overhead here last night...quite uncommon...

...for our lil neck o the woods.

[The_Casual_Observer]

12. They are surging the surge. Don't let them try & fool you.

13. Its also nearly the end of the month

when I was in the Marine Corps I was in the Air Wing and since we are just getting out of winter and alot of strange bad weather many pilots may not have all of their monthly fight hours in. They have to fly a min of hours in order to get flight pay, I forget what that amount is but that could explain it. Also, regarding the poster that stated 2 jets took off from their local airport, it could be that they were on a cross-country flight. On fridays we would always send 1 or 2 birds on a x-country flight so pilots could log some flight time. Sometimes they were headed to another military airfield for some air to air or something. Its time to get worried when you see a whole squadron fly out at once.

[screembloodymurder]

15. Interesting. I didn't know that.

But that might explain the activity I've seen today.
