Newfag, posted earlier about 8+ F15s that flew directly over my house at roughly 4:30 Pacific time.

I don't know if this type of thing is worth posting here, but I've never seen that many fighter jets in the sky in my life (lived here all my life, too). I'm posting once again (likely the last time on the subject unless a reason to post again develops). Just to clarify the details, all in one post.

Time: approximately 16:30-16:50 PST

Number: 8 or more F15s (I originally posted that they were F14s, but looked at my local ANG website and they only have F15s. I confirmed the silhouette was actually an F15 (they are similar). They were not F16s, not F18s, not F22s. There was a distinctive long, straight forward fuselage (F16s and F18s are shorter and more triangular). The F14 and F15 silhouette are quite similar, from the bottom and I'm not a pilot, nor a plane expert. I do have better than 20/20 vision and am of sound mind (KEK). I have only flown in a small Cessna before.

I had eyes on eight of them over a ten minute span and counted up from 1 to eight as I visually confirmed. It's possible that I missed some before, or after because I left to get lunch after posting here the first time.

What: They were not in formation, but flew almost in single file, and spaced out roughly 1 minute apart. From West to East (opposite direction of the Pacific Ocean). They were not on afterburners.

I concluded that they must be ANG planes, from the same group that intercepted the stolen Q400 a few weeks ago (taking off from the same airport/base).

I don't know how to planefag, but I have seen people doing it here, so I thought it would be an acceptable post. That's all the details I can remember off the top of my head. Apparently their flight path might not be visible to planefags, even in real time. For some reason, I thought you guys had SDRs and could see that stuff, but it makes sense that they would be invisible for OPs and maybe for practice missions.

For future reference, is there any OPSEC reason not to post such info as it happens? E.g. "The world is watching"
