SCARY!!! Sounds like a WAR out there with ALL the low flying military aircraft!!!

But today, July 6th, is part of military training, AND scheduled flyovers which are being done to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States!

The jets flying low over Plymouth, Massachusetts are conducting scheduled routine air-to-air refueling training exercises alongside larger aircraft like KC-135 Stratotankers. Residents across the region frequently see these operations, which involve large bombers or fighters circling at low altitudes while refueling.

Unfortunately, even though it SOUNDS like the jets are about to fly in to my living room, I can't SEE them at all because of the low cloud cover.

Is that restricted or controlled airspace? I can't imagine refueling in free-for-all airspace. Everything over 18,000 feet msl is controlled. Below as designated.

@Heartlander No idea. We DO have an airport here in Plymouth, but it is for small craft only.
@4meAndyou An air refueling of something like a B52 at low altitude would make for an awesome spectacle.

@Heartlander I wish I could have SEEN it!

Is their noise bothering you or are you enjoying the maneuvers?

@Musicman It SCARED me at first! It sounded like they were flying a couple of inches above my apartment, and once, it was so loud that I thought they were goiing to fly right into my living room!!!

I was NOT able to see any of the planes, because there was very low cloud cover.

@4meAndyou Did it shake or rattle anything in your apartment?

@Musicman Yes. A little bit. It was a deep, frightening sound that I couldn't even identify at first, and all such sounds are caused by vibration in the air.
