Let me start by saying we've lived in the same place for a year and a half. We can see Tinker Air Force from our balcony. We never hear or see fighter jets fly over ten to twenty minutes between each other. We see AWACS all the time. Tinker is an AWACS base. I'm a little freaked. Does anyone know if something is going down in the world/country? Did something just happen? There's nothing on any of the news channels. This is so weird. Duckie

1. Probably just a training exercise. I wouldn't worry about it. |
|
When we go to the beach, we see jets all the time. It is freaky, but it was always nothing.

3. It could be, but this is very odd to have fighter jets in Oklahoma City. |

2. I haven't heard anything. |
|
Those are loud jets. I hate it when they fly over or around our house... the windows shake and the cats tremble. I wonder what's up?

4. It's pretty nice here today, and we have the windows open. |
|
I heard that Israel is planning a nuclear strike on Iran, and I'm worried that shit is going down and they're not telling us anything, because with who is in charge, I wouldn't put it past them. Duckie

Maybe it explains the huge black hole I'm feeling in my heart today.

5. Is there any kind of patriotic/commemorative event in the area today? |
|
When they have the fourth of July fireworks and Pops concert in Boston, fighter jets do a flyover. Some years they pass over my house. Those suckers are loud.

7. Nope. These jets weren't in the usual formation. |
|
When there's something like that going on here in the city they are in one of several formations, and these were just flying in a V and hauling ass west. Duckie

6. As an Air Force brat, and having lived on several bases... |
|
...I can reassure you that it is more than likely just weekend maneuvers....and the weekend warriors practicing. Don't worry. :hug:

8. Thanks for the reassurance... |
|
But it's just so weird. This never happens here. Like I said, this is an AWACS base, and fighter jets only come in during special events, and there's nothing going on this weekend. It's just so out of the norm. THAT'S why I'm trippin'. Duckie
