I was in the backyard around 3pm today and ..wow...all of the sudden ,theres a loud roar..

I look up and around...S.O.B...those goes the sound of freedom...found out they were after

a small plane that went into restricted airspace.....its was a real sight...

Where was this?

 

Very cool site I am sure.

I live a few miles from Mcguire AFB, and those boys are the ones fueling those sounds of

freedom. We are right in the path of their final approach to the base, and sometimes see their wheels retracting from those flying tankers. Before 911, we used to grab some local chow,

and sit in our cars and watch them do touch and go landings, and watch the planes as they flew right over the tops of your car. They did away with that, oh well, the price for freedom.

yeah, was out in the yard this afternoon and saw them fly over

Doc Walt where are you from? Sounds like you are local to me. I live in North Hanover / Wrightstown

I work in Edison and me and my co-worker heard it, around that same time, but before we could even get outside the office door, what ever made the sound was gone.

I watch them all the time, they come in over absecon heading to ac airport.

Couldn't be an F-14. Those have been retired for 2 years now... unless they were Iranian...

could have been, who the hell know's anymore.. maybe they leave work from the gas station and head to the airbase..

I am right in an alternate landing pattern for Mcguire. I love hearing the KC 135's come over in a low cloud cover and throttle back over the house. Sometimes thay are so low the widows shake. The squads of CH 46's are always a treat.

I remember living on post, and hearing/feeling the F16s, F18s, Sh*thooks, and UH60s doing their fly-time (as well as once every year, the AFB would ru an exercise where they flew every foreign plane they could get their hands on, as well as the occasion AWACs). Scariest thing though was when Air Force 1 flew in, and I thought we were getting bombed or something. That sucker is LOUD... like 100% car alarm loud.

the fios installation guy and I both went outside and caught the last one flying over.. my neighbor was outside all alarmed.

 

 

I remember down in Daytona watching the C5's practice short field landings.. that's a big ass plane!

The last F14 was pulled from service a year or so.

F-15's - was in today's Ledger. Apparently a private plane invaded Obama's airspace while he was doing LiberalMan, uh I mean Letterman.

Hell ya. Truly is the sound of freedom. Unmistakable sound, I would hear (and sometimes feel) them fly over my neighborhood in NYC for weeks after 9/11. Another awesome sight is seeing A-10s run parallel to the beach in Wildwood

A-10's in Wildwood? Wow... They are probably from Warren Grove. Most of your A-10

traffic comes from Myrtle Beach. The F-18 Hornets are from VA Beach. And our boys over at

Mcguire quench their thirst for jet fuel...... 8-)

Still have A-10s at Willow Grove and Martin State, MD.

 

Awesome airplane. Sounds great when they're in the pattern.

You should here them when they release the front gun turret. We occasionally hike the

Batona Trail and pass close enough to Warren Grove. Sends a chill up your spine.

A-10s in danger close missions... ahh! Only comment I could make is I'm glad to have them on our side. Only thing more impressive is the Angels in the sky-- the AC130s

That Hercules is some awesome gunship also.... Puff the Magic Dragon was it's nickname.
