Fighter Jets

[rudiewhitebwoy]

At approximately 10:39 AM I saw two Jets in Beverly rising up heading toward Gloucester. I doubt they came from Beverly Airport. I'm no aviation expert but they were reminiscent of the F-14 Tomcats I used to see down the Cape in the 70's. Something going on I don't know about? Zappa, please reply as I'm sure you have the answer.

Heard them in Danvers as well. Hear something right now actually. Red Sox? (not much of a fan, have they even started yet?)

 

[rudiewhitebwoy]

My wife's on the phone with my step daughter in Magnolia, the went over her house and now they've turned around and heading back. They just went back over my house, I couldn't see them this time but I heard them. Headed toward Boston.

 

[ProGun]

Saw them, they just buzzed my house, north shore, too. They did look like F-14's, though I only got a quick look.

 

[AmmoSapien]

I saw them too, just went over Beverly, 2 of them together, didnt recognise them. Also heard a lowflying helicopter about 15 mins prior.

Are y'all near the Boston Marathon route?

Practice run?

 

[Canndo]

Heard over Saugus a few minutes ago

No.

Can still hear them now and then in the distance

Don't you rooks know that any time you see a fighter or a black helicopter it means GO Time has arrived. Time for you to wipe your hard drives and throw your phones in the ocean, you will be getting a no knock visit from one of the alphabet groups soon.

F-14's out of service years ago. Most likely F-15's from the Cape.

 

[FalArAk]

Go time !

 

[headednorth]

Shit, I have 6 unsighted rifles in the safe and no milk in the fridge. BRB

 

[John42056]

No the Sox, they are in NY.

 

[Tnkrclwn]

F-15s are out of Barnes now in Western MA.

No Air Guard jets stationed at the Cape anymore.

Gotta be a fly over somewhere.

Crap, I need milk too!

 

[zboys]

Just saw this on another site I'm on, lol

They made about four low tight orbits over my house on Cape Ann, then boogied off to the south. Very cool.

 

[greencobra]

you guys sure they weren't those black helicopters you keep spottin'? chopper fever can play some cruel mind games on occasion.

I'm in the middle of making a lemon meringue pie. If go time screws it up I'm going to be pissed.

I just saw two Japanese Zeros fly over being followed by a pair F14 Tomcats.....What's going on?

 

[Picton]

Lol. If they're F14s, we're all in trouble. The last people operating those are the Iranians.

Salem? Maybe Biden finally had enough of the Primer King? (You know who you are- if you survived the barrage.)

Maybe T6 Texans? Unless you are joking, Zeros are rare as hell.

 

[Maxrobot]

I participated in the Salem ceremony two or three times. I don't recall any flyovers. Units from historic military commands participated. I am still with the New Hampshire Governor's Horse Guards. (But we are practically inactive due to age of members)

Wouldn't

If you look at the OP, I never claimed to be an aviation expert. I said they reminded me of F-14's or what ever they used to scramble out of Otis in the early 70's when a Russian Trawler would come too close. I was a little kid playing with Hermit Crabs and Periwinkles in the marsh. They'd swing out over Wings Neck then boom, off they'd go. I just thought that was awesome.

It was awesome. Those were the days.

Great aircraft, the F14.

My house is on the runway approach for Beverly airport. About an hour ago the loudest jet I ever heard flew over shook the house followed by another jet about 40 seconds later. They are at Beverly now. Private jets fly over my house all the time but the noise is way less. Hope they fly out the other way.

My son-in-law just clarified they were F-15 Strike Eagles. I'll take his word for it.

That's what they looked like to me, and they were having fun.
