jet fighter flying?
Did I just hear (feel) a jet fighter fly over my house? (8:15pm ish on 9/11) I'm in South Bay. Anyone else hear it??? What's going on?? It sounded like it came from Redondo Beach area and flew over to Long Beach direction....

Im a pilot and I fly out of Long Beach Airport and knowing the amount of traffic coming in and out of LGB I must Assume it was probably a B-1 or an A10 which do visit LGB periodically. Among others. Now you go tme curious. Lol
However this late at night it puzzles me sicne there are flight restrictions!

Could've been a flyover for 9-11.
I know it was a jet fighter....(not macross). I know how they sound like b/c I've heard Blue Angels before and this one sounded like that, only quieter probably b/c it was flying solo as opposed to a group of 5 Blue Angeles.

You know what, i'm a verteran, and i think there should be daily patrols over all our metropolitan cities not just for the anniversary of 9/11 (although i'm pretty sure they do this). From 4 years ago to 50 years later, you just need one squad to do this.

there SHOULD be.. but cost of fuel, the sheer manhours to keep fighters airborne to cover such a large coast line and such would be really really expensive for us the taxpayers. plus you'd need more than one squadron to cover the whole state... you'd need to go mach 2+ to get from la to sf in time to intercept something in under 10 minutes... doing orbits around the states..
however, if anything does happen you'll get the "any $$ would have been better than preventing another 9-11 incident" but in reality i dont think the country has enuf to keep CAP on going.

Negative on the B-1.
I work at the Boeing Long Beach site ... I would have been notified if any of the B-1s were scheduled for arrival.
Agree w. Cheston. Probably a Hornet.

And check the news, there is a new terrorist video released. Yes, I am a veteran, but I am also not biased in my opinions. I was in the military and now i am a civilian. I would give $$$$ and my support in order to not have a major terrorist catastrophie hit the US.
