Posted December 3, 200618 yr My wife and I were just hanging out in the house when all of a sudden the house shook from the sound of jet aircraft. It was loud enough to rattle the windows and shake the whole house. I thought for sure it was a 727 crashing since we live about 20 minutes from FLL airport and they use an easterly approach from the west to land which is over our home. When I ran out of the house to see what it was I saw 4 what appeared to be f-15's heading on a Southeastern path maybe towards the airport. They were way under a normal flight deck since I could see their engines. I'd say about 500 feet. There isn't an airshow going on to my knowledge and they wouldn't go this far west. I'm not sure what is going on but I bet it makes the news. My neighbor stated they saw some single engine plane buzzing the area just prior which was wierd to them. This one outta be interesting. I bet the jets came from Tampa. Merc

December 3, 200618 yr fighter jets are cool, I work at the airport and for about 2 weeks straight we had c-f18's and british fighter jets comming and going about 10-15 per day. Still dont know what was going on though, maybe some war games or something.

December 3, 200618 yr sounds like they were trying to stop a drug run. CDO is what we call it in the AF. Counter Drug Operations. We have TDY's that "area" all the time. Rest assured an AWACS found something and called in the "GO BACK TO YOUR MOTHERLAND" Team to enforce. No drugs for you mister bad guy.

December 3, 200618 yr I remember seeing something similiar but a logn time ago. I was walking in a northern direction away from my house when i heard this strange whine that i never heard before. then i look up as it's getting louder and see to engine flames very close together. My best guess would be one of our F-18's and the reason why i guess them is because we don't really have anything else :thumbsup:

December 3, 200618 yr The only time I've ever heard military planes fly over my house was the week following 9/11. McGuire is the closest AFB.

December 4, 200618 yr OMG, I just saw it on the news. Apparently they have actually captured an alien ship by forcing it to land at the local airport. Sources report that they will be moving it to Hanger 54 in the desert. Cool stuff! :thumbsup:
