The pair of F-15's made 2 runs down the Hudson and circled around over Western Long Island and the city before making a low approach to JFK, then to LGA and were supposed to hit EWR before they changed their minds and departed back to FMH.
Anyone know the reason?
yesterdays weather postponed the fly overs til today
Because the bad guys will only strike during good weather. :roll:
I Caught them on approach to 22 at LGA yesterday around 11am, They were on UHF so I couldnt hear them , only the tower when he gave them a Left to 070 and switched them to approach.
what were "they?" F-15s or -18s? from my vantage point in class it only sounded like one, though if they were in close formation i can understand why it would sound that way.Quote:
