[ARCHIVED THREAD] - f-15(?) low as hell over Vernon/West Milford last night

Posted: 8/14/2017 5:47:00 AM EDT

anyone else hear/see it? just curious if anyone knows why it was flying around up here. right around 7:30PM

he was pretty low, and hooked a pretty sharp u-turn directly over my house, then fired it up---holy fuck was it loud

he came around 3 times, then went WNW for a last time.

POTUS is still in Bedminster. Has to be related due to retasked flight paths.

You know, I didn't even think of that. It kind of explains why I've seen more aircraft flying over places I've never seen them before.

ahhhh. makes sense now. i saw 2 fighter jets take off like they stole the fucking things over the parkway south of LBI somewhere on friday.

3 in a weeks time, and the only 3 i have ever seen. pretty awesome sight------and sound!! i certainly wouldn't want to fuck with our military

Probably heading up to meet up with some dumbass doctor tooling along in his Beech Baron, completely unaware of the TFR he just flew into. Nothing like seeing an armed fighter jet right off your wing, angrily gesturing at you to get your ass to the nearest airport RFN for some anal probing.

Bound brook ppl may have seen a turn & burn a few sundays ago too.

Some years ago I posted a very similar occurrence above Paramus. I was at my SOHO hearing this ungodly loud jet sound I look out the window and off to the SSE at 200-300 yards max I see an F-15 do a belly flop maybe 150-200 ft. (even at that distance thing was HUGE) "Stops" lights up his engines and the roar shook me, then my wife and dogs went bananas. In a poof like Keyser Soze disappear in a roar and long tail exhaust. COOL!!!!!

I heard it in the Franklin/Hardyston area. Second time in a couple weeks. I assumed a couple weeks ago was the first time, in anticipation of the President's visit.
