One pair of jets just blasted past us in Lancaster PA, maybe the same ones.
They were headed southeast.

Probably heading to the military base at HIA

Lancaster Online is running a similar story with a Lancaster Air Traffic Controller (who's not named) allegedly saying they were "routine training flights..."
Yet I've lived in Lancaster County for about 6 years and I've never noticed fighter jets overhead. I've noticed plenty of Fort Indiantown Gap's helicopters (Chinooks I believe, they're long with two rotors) but never fighter jets.

Military craft often train over the Furnace Hills and on many summer afternoons A-10's fly over the E-Town area to/from FTIG for training.
Last week, the 47's were doing landing/take off practice at LanCoAirport.

We have a pair of A-10s go over the house seemingly weekly down here in Adam’s CO

All things currently considered, Mav and Ice decided we Common wealthers needed a low, loud flyby.

It’s training, they do it all the time.

I live near Jim Thorpe, and these valleys were used heavily for fighter training missions during the Bosnian conflict and still are on occasion. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something similar.

Jets used to come out of Willow Grove back then but that operation was decommissioned about 20 years ago.

South jersey flew over very loud and fast going towards the ocean heading east

Someone on the Lancaster sub claimed to see a triangle ufo around the same time.

More UFO's. Seriously though the pair of A10's that zoomed harrisburg the other day was exciting.
Siege_5 t1_j8yhcjq wrote
Anyone have an idea what the jets were?
IamSauerKraut t1_j8zn0or wrote
F-16 craft.
Jskerp OP t1_j8yhriv wrote
Maybe F-35? Im unsure I have limited knowledge on jets

Typically a-10 warthogs flying out of Martin State airport (Middle River, MD).

Wasn't warthogs

Ahhh interesting.

They're probably from Dover De. This is the first recon of PA from DE to prepare for the immanent invasion of PA. Be very afraid.

Probably on an intercept course for another one of those dang balloons.
