I'm wondering if the Air Force is running some kind of night (training?) op. I swear I keep hearing F-16 passes every 45-90 seconds.

Obviously they're scanning your area for strategic nuclear drop points.

My town gets at least one military helicopter over it a day.

Yesterday we had a Sea King flying low.

I'll admit, this news worries me.

If a few planes flying overhead worries you, you must spend a lot of time worrying. They're probably training.

The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.

Petersen AFB never mentions shit to local media. (Neither does Fort Carson or Clark Air National Guard Station...)

Anyhoo they're gone now, probably another bunch of night flights over the mountains.

Same here, but Joint Warrior is on at this time of year, so it's normal here.

Maybe there's an exercise on?

I've got a rifle and a bunch of ammo. (And a bayonet too! 16 inch spike bayonet at that!) The Russians wouldn't force me to write that post, they'd be dead if they landed here. (Or I would be, surrounded by a mountain of dead VDV troopers.)

Spetsnaz train by throwing hatchets into targets while doing flips over barbed wire.

They are the most dangerous men on the planet by default.

And the Air Force has been at it again. At least once today they were flying multiple over the area.

And it's not even that time of year. Most of the time the Air Force runs their most frequent training flights in the summer or dead of winter, not October.
