Anyone else notice no planes today? |
|
I was outside several times today and saw no planes. Not one. No contrails of any kind. We are in Pittsburgh with a bright blue sky and no flights.
Is it just us or is it elsewhere? I am wondering if DHS sent out something on the sly and the airlines cut their schedules well in advance.
Later, JM

That's about the usual number I see when standing outside on breaks.

2. Nothing's gonna happen |
|
Next year on or around this date, hold on to your hat. A little more timely, don't you know. Too risky this year. Besides, might ruin the potential for next year.

4. I heard on NPR yesterday |
|
that some flights were being cut today because people don't like to fly on 9/11 but that more people flew today than did during last year's anniversity.

5. My god. You took the words right out of my fingers. |
|
I am in Pittsburgh as well (Southside), and have noticed the SAME EXACT THING. I always see planes, but not today. All today, actually. What the hell is going on?

8. Alright, just got back from a wide open area - |
|
I saw one plane heading ENE, and that's it. Was looking for 10-15 minutes. I would normally see 5-10 planes (I'm a plane watcher). Could be light traffic because no one want's to fly on a day such as today.

10. Very light traffic in Indianapolis |
|
from what I see. Have only noticed a couple of planes but haven't been outside much, and I really don't pay attention unless they're flying low.

I'm just south of Pittsburgh and saw quite a few in the flight path that crosses Bridgeville. Also got buzzed by a little yellow plane.
Business as usual:-)
