What was the fly-over?
 
At about 2:13 p.m., fourteen aircraft flew over Hadley (and much else, no doubt) in formation. What was it?

Looked and sounded like a squadron from a WWII carrier in the Pacific theater.

Very cool.

They were checking out your roses. (They were impressed.)

Two Bills 04-13-2021 02:16 PM

Flight 19.

bagboy 04-13-2021 02:21 PM

Possibly P 51 Mustangs. One showed up on my radar app, I didn't see any, but did hear them.

rustyp 04-13-2021 02:31 PM

Did you hear a honking sound ?

Jim 9922 04-13-2021 02:48 PM

Flying in for air show in Lakeland being held all week

DonH57 04-13-2021 03:22 PM

We saw them when we were on the 6th green on Churchill Greens today.:a040:

SIRE1 04-13-2021 03:50 PM

Probably going to the Sun-N-Fun air Aeroexpo in Lakeland. Expect many other planes to fly over. That is a great show. Check out the web page SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo - Largest Air Show in the Southern US

They were actually heading to the Sun N Fun Flyin. They do an airplane show there every year and it’s going on now

Cheapbas 04-14-2021 06:23 AM

Flew out of the Bermuda Triangle where they were lost 50 years ago

I read some where that the Blue Angles were going to be performing in Florida at some air show

MrFlorida 04-14-2021 08:00 AM

The Village air force on a practice run.

I was eating lunch in Belleview. Got a photo.

Bilyclub 04-14-2021 08:53 AM

Saw 2 squadrons. One early flying low, and one flying higher after two o'clock. No, mistaking that sound. Can only wonder what it sounded like at Pearl Harbor.

jacklaurie 04-14-2021 08:55 AM

It was either a bird or a plane or maybe Supermen.....

Heytubes 04-14-2021 09:06 AM

Our downsized Air Force.

vr3nav 04-14-2021 09:17 AM

I also saw the flight. The sound of multiple radial engines immediately got my attention.

It was probably a flight of display aircraft headed for Sun-n-Fun in Orlando. They looked and sounded like AT-6s (SNJ in Navy terms), which is a former military trainer that frequently appears at large airshows.

ldj1938 04-14-2021 09:37 AM

EAA at SUN ’n FUN 2021
Second best air show in the country. Oshkosh fly-in is the best. Yes, the Blue Angels will be there. Fantastic event if you've never been. I built and flew my own Glasair to the show a few years ago. I didn't see or hear the flyover, but suspect it was a flight of P-51's. Have a spare $million and you could buy one. You will never forget the sound of the rolls-royce engines!

Taltarzac725 04-14-2021 09:51 AM

Had trouble watching my TV show whatever that was. Very noisy but I was too late when I went out at a commercial break to see what was making all the noise.

Barborv 04-14-2021 10:01 AM

Sire1
just went on the link you sent. Signed up for future e mails. I see it's about an hour and a half away. We have an airshow in Long Island every year at Jones Beach! My son was actually sworn into the Air Force with a group on beach, with planes flying above and a parachuter coming down. It was something! Have you ever gone to the Lakeland air show?

karostay 04-14-2021 10:09 AM

heading to Russia

Grew up with Rolls Royce Merlin engines flying overhead.
Wonderfull sound. Once heard, never forgotten!

collie1228 04-14-2021 10:26 AM

Thought for a second they were Zeros. Tora, Tora, Tora! What a great sound they made.

Curtisbwp 04-14-2021 02:16 PM

Probably training or a relocation of aircraft. There are SEVERAL militaty bases in Florida.

linfrasco 04-14-2021 03:19 PM

Plane Flyover
 
Yes, I heard humming outside my backyard. Went outside and looked up to the sky, squinting, when I saw a formation of 14 planes, I think. Then I read in the paper about the airshow in the south this weekend.

Oh, pet peeve, former biology major. No such species as Canadian Geese. They are Canada geese, just the word Canada. I know, lots of people name it wrong and it is commonly used, but still not the name of the bird. It is a Florida panther not a Floridian panther. Same rule.

Angelcancel 04-14-2021 07:45 PM

If you are bored this weekend and you like planes , the Sun n Fun air show is on this weekend. Besides the “Warbirds” P51s , etc youll have the Blue Angels, the F35 demo team and several others.
Its less than 1.5 hr trip. The afternoon shows last several hours
