Reply to comment by BuckyWunderlick007 in flyover sucked by stunkindonuts

I don't know man. It was loud and sudden and it scared us. I've lived in the area my whole life and worked around planes, it's not usually that loud. When my brain hears "sudden extremely loud ass noise" it doesn't rationalize what it is it just thinks maybe some kind of explosion, especially with all recent news.

What recent news?

When you say ‘the area’, are we talking in Cambridge or elsewhere in eastern MA? Loud flyovers happen severs times a year here (in Cambridge/Boston), and have as long as I can remember.

Around Boston area. All the flyovers for Gillette went straight over the house I grew up in. I also lived in a town with an active air wing that would practice every day, and worked at an airport for several years. This was different, at least in my experience.

So you’re new to downtown Cambridge/Boston then? The flyovers are much louder if you’re at close range to the “target”. Much more so than if you’re several miles away.

If you were out, how did you know your pets were mortified? Did they text you or tell you about it when you got home? My dogs don’t love the flyovers, but they’re so brief it’s not a big deal. A thunderstorm is much more traumatic for the dog who is sensitive to such things.
