What was that?!?

[ckd]

Four fighter jets just went overhead, low & loud. I didn't see them, and hr_macgirl didn't have her glasses on, so we didn't catch the type.

Fenway Flyby (TEX@BOS, 1905)? What's the occasion?

Most likely a military funeral.

Possible, I suppose. The only likely cemetery I can think of would be Mt. Auburn, and I wouldn't expect that flight path. (I didn't see whether they flew a missing man formation.)

Ah, here's the reason:
Boston Red Sox National Guard Recuiting Night
UNIT APPROVED TO FLY
4xF-15; 102FW, Otis ANGB, MA

apparently it was Boston Red Sox Nat'l Guard Recruiting Night, thus the flyover.

*whew* That's good to know, thanks. They passed over us, still low, fast, and loud, out here in Sharon. Gave us all a bit of a turn.
