About fifteen minutes ago (12:50PM Eastern) I saw four Navy/Air Force fighter jets (F-18? F-22?) flying directly overhead in the western suburbs of Boston.Anyone have any idea if they might have been part of a military flyover for the Patriots game,which is happening about 30 miles from me?
Just wondering!

Promotion of private sports teams is one of those missions the feds don’t give up for a “shutdown”. Essential, and all that.

I guess that's one possible explanation.However,I've read many times that the air shows that the Navy and Air Force hold on a regular basis are mainly meant for recruiting purposes.
A couple of years ago the Blue Angels appeared at an Air Force base about 80 miles from me...and I attended.When it was over I,a guy with a bum ticker and a metal hip,was ready to go down to the recruiter and declare "I wanna fly F-18s"!

Had a similar thing in Austin at 11am.
They flew past maybe 4 times. Never seen this before. Very odd.
Really loud.

I saw them twice...once directly overhead,the second time still easily visible.And they are loud...and were flying in some kind of formation when I saw them.The formation is what makes me wonder if it might have been related to the Patriots game.
Anything special happening in,or near,Austin today?

I was on the top row of seats at Bristol when they went over on afterburner, that was pretty crazy!

A couple of years ago, several jets from Eglin flew over for a funeral of a WWII officer who flew B-17s and was originally buried in Germany.

I’ve had F-15s flying over Phoenix on Friday and Saturday, 4 of them. Unusual.

I’m surprised the leftists haven’t realized our mission to steal young go getters. When they do, legislation will scream out forbidding it.

AF1 escort?Is DJT coming here? I didn't hear anything about that.No,a pervious poster gave a link to a story saying that an Air National Guard unit was planning to do a flyover for the Patriots game.

They are staging in order to fly over Foxboro stadium as the last notes of the National anthem wrap up. They communicate with a spotter in the stadium in order to co-ordinate precisely the timing. Attend Broncos games at Mile High in Denver and this is always a crowd pleaser. Typically at the beginning of the 4th quarter the pilots and some of the support people are introduced at the stadium.
