There was a thread here or on facebook about the flyovers, yesterday & today. Training runs over ocala national forest: hearing loud booms? Navy dropping bombs in ocala

america's greatest aircraft ever

Be thankful we have AF Reservists and Air National Guard pilots. They are truly the best. Expect them to drill on weekends and holidays.

Ahhh...the A-10 Warthog. For the bad guys, a real sphincter shrinker.

There is the capability for the ADS-B Exchange website to track military planes. I have used it before.

No military training exercise should be conducted over heavily populated area such as The Villages.

Two A-10s flew overhead (I was at Bonifay) on their way somewhere. Not practicing combat or anything crazy. No seniors were harmed.

Saw them &heard them in Hemingway around noon

I saw them too. There were College Football Bowl games in Orlando and Tampa that day. I assume those were National Anthem fly overs.

Don't know what they were but the wings were very straight and they had two tails. Just wondering if anyone else saw them and know anything about them. The roar was very loud.

My guess was lining up for a fly over the Orlando stadium… it was about 20 min prior to kickoff and they headed in that direction.

Probably Tom Cruise practicing for the next Top Gun movie coming to Florida.

A 10 Warthogs hunting snowbirds in roundabouts who were speeding away from dog poop they didn't clean-up to create a line at the Rec center for a class after being shut out of their tee time by the snowbird who logged on first looking for the entrance to a MMP to drive their car upon. That should about cover it.

Yes. Impressive.

Apparently the military is not bound by FAA regulations, which prohibit flight over densely populated areas less than 1,000 feet above the highest point of the area in question.

Though last winter I did see a paramotor pretty low over Spanish Springs; maybe 500' or so.
