Anybody know why 7 F-15s are circling me?

Last edited Sun Sep 10, 2017, 04:54 PM - Edit history (1)

I'm in lower Fairfield County, CT and the planes have made several passes overhead.

There is no air base nearby. This is not normal!
They're too high to read the rudders.

Could they be refugees from Florida?



On edit:

Okay, it looks like it's part of the ceremonies for the US Open.

Thank you all!

...still, it's a possibility.

I was concerned about a national security thing going on nearby.
