This should be pretty cool, so I will take my daily walk between 12:30 and 1.

Vermont got their flyover today at lunch time -- we heard, but didn't see them, in F-35s, as the overflew the VA hospital in White River Junction (just across the river from us and a little further north).

Pretty cool if you can catch it.

Well it was a bit anti-climatic, but still okay. I was expecting much more noise, but it was sedate. I was thinking fighter jet noise levels.

I remember the days of Orions flying over Sunnyvale on their way into Moffett Field when I lived and worked in CA. They were about as far from fighters as you could get (and considerably smaller than that Hercules), but they raised quite a ruckus on final approach

Cool photos, Bud.
Timing being directly under a 130 as it passes over on landing approach maybe a couple hundred feet up is a bit exhilarating, but yeah, at the altitude in these photos, not a lot going on.
It's the thought that counts? I'm wondering why in your neck of the woods all you get is a 130 and 2 helicopters, though.I disabled signatures. -
Actually a few weeks ago there was a flyover with jets, but I was inside and only heard it. When I was in the Navy I worked on F4, so I definitely know how they sound. This was done by the California Air National Guard’s 129th Rescue Wing, so I guess that is the type of aircraft they use. I just wish they had a few more. Oh well, as you said, it's the thought that counts.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

The F4 was a flying pig... I have a couple scars from the ones we trained at Millington back in the day. Those friggen vent tubes on her belly had a habit of biting the scalp or back of those that thought they could be anything but careful around that aircraft.
It was a good way to educate the newbs about situational awareness when around jets.The Gear...

I live 3 miles to the west of Hill AFB in northern UT. We get daily flyovers from the F22 & F35 jets on their way out to the salt flats for training maneuvers. Some days, as many as 20 planes - always in pairs. After 4 years here, I still stop and watch when I’m outside.“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

The F-35s are something of a sore subject up in Vermont, FWIW.

Here in SoCal yesterday there was a flyover of a bunch of WW2 transports and fighters. Very loud, low and cool.SystemLuxman L-590AXII Integrated Amplifier|KEF Reference 1 Loudspeakers|PS Audio Directream Jr|Sansui TU-9900 Tuner|TEAC A-6100 RtR|REL T/9X SE Sub
