Fighter Jets over NYC 3/31

[emk1219]

Hi,
anyone know why 2 fighter jets where flying over Brooklyn today at around 1:00 PM,
maybe because of the Yankees, ??

I would probably say that is affirmative Ghostrider. BTW DAAAA YANKEES WINNNNNN

thanks, i figured so
but these days it can also be for a photo shoot, so i double checked.......

they flew right over my 'hood as i was driving into work... was nice to see a superbug low, slow, dirty and loud!! the strange part is i couldn't figure out what they were doing, looked like a right 360 off the ILS approach to 4 but i heard later they asked LGA tower for "room to maneuver."

Citifield would be more appropriate then the Wilpons could collect the insurance money!! :biggrin:

Yeap I've got some footage of them circling the whitestone bridge. They did their run and disappeared for a good 10 minutes then landed on I believe 4. I didn't catch the launch (totally forgot it was opening day). As a matter of fact, I didn't even hear them. Which is weird considering how close I am. I'll be more prepared on Friday for the Mets home opener

Pretty sure they departed LGA around 0900 Saturday morning as something was so loud departing LGA it woke all 3 of us (my wife & daughter & I) up from a sound sleep up in the Bronx. Was definitely at least twice as loud as an MD-80, had to be them.

Anyone know whats flying overhead for the Mets at 4pm? I can't seem to find anything else on here or google. If its Hornets I'll hear them when they land. Hopefully lol.

I went to CitiField but saw no fly-by. It was very low-key even the fans weren't excited. Last year, they had a fly-by and I saw some former Mets stars and met Jackie Robinson's wife Rachel. All I saw was a Mets dog smoking a pipe. At least, I got to see aircraft departing from 13.

Wonder what was in the pipe? :cool::confused:

No fly-by at Citi this year, not sure if it was scheduled, but it could have been canceled due to the weather...it was cloudy with some drizzle just after the game started.
