I live in Las Vegas where Nellis Air Force base is. For the last couple of days there's been constant jet plane noise...

of flights in taking off and landing. Way more than normal. I'm starting to wonder if trump/Hegseth has began training for some sort of military action.

1. Just check his Facebook posts

5. Yeah right. He may have put plans on Signal too.

The flights are constant, and Nellis has a training wing for pilots from other countries as well a American ones.

2. Last week I saw 4 military transports

Flying in single file over my house in Sacramento heading west. I think they took off from Mather field. Pretty unusual to see that. who knows what those idiots are up to.

3. Nellis is always running major exercises

Due to its proximity to extensive ranges so it may just be routine activity.

6. Agree

4. I drive past MCAS Miramar (former Top Gun location) almost every day on my work commute

Can't say I have noticed an increase but I will take better note now. Its not unusual to see training sorties. I will keep an eye out for unusual activity or different types of aircraft. I also drive I5 through Camp Pendleton on occasion. End of April I saw a lot of helicopter activity when I drove through....but again, can't say if it was an increase or not since I don't drive that everyday.

7. I live in the flight path between Tinker in OKC and McConnel in KS. Jets all hours of the day and night now.

9. Vegas guy. I agree!

I live near Lone Mountain NW Vegas. Nellis has basically two paths out of here... (1) North, and (2) West. Western departures are a longer and quieter path since I hear the lateral version of exhaust going east. North departures are short and LOUD since the exhaust is basically coming directly (south) at me but they are outta' here quickly so LOUD and SHORTER. YES I agree.. and I have been searching google for this very reason. I double checked. No Red Flag exercises. Something is up! More constant noise on May 5 2025 but also today, lesser May 6 2025. This has been jets leaving north which I think is a Washington (state) or Oregon base. West is typically Edwards AFB as I have learned. This is North outta' here.
