There are two military jets flying above

[proud2BlibKansan]

my school. For about 30 minutes now, they have been circling and twirling in the sky, flying very low, right above my school.

I used to live by an air base and we went to the air show every year, but I don't ever remember seeing only two jets doing any routines for the air show.

There is no air base nearby and no airport either. This is just very odd.

1. It's Homeland Insecurity working hard at keeping you scared

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. LOL yeah right

I am not scared. So is there something wrong with me?

[TheFriedPiper]

21. Quite the opposite, being scared is wrong

That's why I made this bumper sticker:

2. Maybe some dorkass Top Gun and his Wing Man are showing off

for their betrothed; using up government fuel and wearing out government equipment to impress someone while doing a cross country training exercise.

It happens...

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. Well that's good to know

It is just kinda odd. The first time they went overhead it was interesting. The third time it got strange.

22. More than a few inexperienced pilots have bought the farm......

......doing "tricks" for their sweethearts/friends/family on the ground - experienced pilots too, come to think of it.

4. Checking out all those "high profile" targets out there

in Kansas, no doubt.

7. They are in the wrong state then

My school is in Missouri.

11. Aha! You have a close Senate race

Maybe its time to gin up the terra factor in the Show Me folks.

Are you anywhere near Whiteman AFB?

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. About 50 miles north

Home of the B1 bomber!

[annabanana]

5. Any anti-war protests

happening in your area today?

Gotta keep an eye on the commies, after all.... :patriot:

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Well yes but not until later this afternoon

:)

[rhiannon55]

12. Can't start the surveillance too early

I guess. You know how prompt those libs are.... :sarcasm:

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. First the Quakers

now the liberal teachers. :sarcasm:

[kelliebrat]

9. that happened here too about a year ago

It was creepy. We are about 20 minutes from LAX and there was no air traffic at all in the sky except for these 2 military jets, flying over from from east to west about every 8 minutes. They were so low the pictures on the walls were shaking. They did this for about 45 minutes or so, every 8 minutes on the dot, then stopped. I made calls to the local news stations to find out what was going on and no one knew and nothing was reported about it.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Yes they are flying very low

low enough for me to tell they are military jets.

[KansDem]

10. Air show scheduled for the 16th and 17th at downtown airport

I've also heard and seen some jets flying around where I work in downtown KC. Probably getting here early?

edited to add a word

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Oh okay then that makes sense

Thanks Kans!

I still think it is odd there are only two.

18. There is an air show this weekend.

It's the Blue Angels. I just saw them in formation. It's at Municipal Airport. They've been flying over my house today.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Are they flying really low?

[evlbstrd]

20. Yes.

Right above the rooftops.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. My co-worker just said

to tell you to ask them to stay above your house since we are busy trying to leave no children behind here.

LOL One of my kids just said "Wow there goes that explosion sound again!" And another one said "No, those are bullets!"

[evlbstrd]

28. Tell the kids they're attacking the house of

a known appeaser. A very dangerous individual.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. I am going to tell them

they are going to the houses of every kid who misbehaves at school today. :evilgrin:

[evlbstrd]

30. And you'll get it all on your secret camera?

You're an evil teacher!

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Camera has been rolling since school started

:evilgrin:

[Xenotime]

24. Go stand outside in a cemetary...

They can't get you there.

[lonestarnot]

25. teehee.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. But doesn't that only apply to Taliban?

[Xenotime]

27. I stand corrected. She better duck and cover then.

[Philosoraptor]

31. all damn day, too damn close for comfort. Is gas that cheap now?
