Lots of jets, choppers circling

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News - Homefront Preparations : One Thread

Don' know what's going on, or if it means anything...

Lots of je6ts coming out from local base, choppers still circling tonight... more than normal, I think, or maybe with commercial activity down to almost nil, I notice it more...

Anyone else hearing a sudden surge in air movement, not C-130's, but short range fighter type?

Another low fast flying chopper, to dark to see details, So. Cal., north of L.A.

Carl, when this happened in Norfolk it was 30 minutes before the Gulf War started. We figured they were ferrying all the bigwigs to the command center at the base so they could watch the fun. Could be the start of the ground war?

We've seen several bigass, 4-engine jets flying over us these last few days. ONe of those jets flew over the nursery (before the flight ban was lifted) and rattled the hell out of the greenhouses.

Kinda rattled the employees, too, lol.

Quiet now.. I've been there done that, when Gulf War deployed...

This was different, but short lived, all quiet now.. something caused a scramble, but it sounds like it's over...

There's been a lot of emphasis on water supply today and I heard a couple of cops mentioning "water tower watches" tonight (from the scanner). Is there a dam nearby?

Dam? Yes, Lake Casitas. Remember after y2k rollover the emergancy warning system went off early in the morning and scared the crap out of all the people in the canyon below.... one of the few reported y2k related failures. Could be them just practicing flying skills too, I guess.
