fighter jets doing circles over me!?!?!

[smithchick231]

this has been happening just about every day this week, I know for sure tuesday and thursday it did. and this morning. I work over here in the calvert Industrial park and there will be 2 jets that fly over more in circle, than a line, then 30 seconds later, another two are tracking right behind it. the pattern they are following is almost like they flying some sort of circle over the chalk point power plant. this is at least the 3rd day this week they are doing it...maybe drills in case something happens????
any educated thoughts would be appreciated coz it freaks me out a bit.

hahaha. im thinking its flight testing or drills, but ive worked here 4 years and never seen them does these types of patterns. i always see them doing straight lines from like andrews to down south...these circles are getting annoying, low speed pretty low altitude rattles the crap outta my tin can office :shrug:

I think you should upgrade from tin can to brick or concrete!

Just about all the businesses in the Industrial Park are in metal buildings. Sounds wonderful when a torential downpour or hail storm goes thru.

right! first time i heard the power plant do that whooshing thing it scared the beejeebies outta me. then we get the low flying double propeller military helicopters that knock stuff off the walls.... i guess thats why they zoned this industrial...it would suck to have a house right here with all the air traffic

the jets are currently doing low passes over my house right now. sounds like they're competing to see who can get closest without actually knocking off shingles. I LOVE it!!!

(the little man is not liking it so much though!)

what "whooshing" thing........
I've never heard anything from there.
I'm in the industrial park, I think they are waiting to land at andrews.
It doesn't happen very often - it's pretty cool when they're low.

Whatever the guys need to train, I'm fine with. I can deal with the noise.

might be annoying to some now...but when your boots on the ground somewhere it's the best sound in the world to hear above you...

well...besides when there is a Spectre above you...that's the best just for the potential hell it brings
