Saw one take off from airport or attempt to land. Pull up landing gear then drop it again. Don't know if just training or what but my pets are flipping the fuck out.

They’re two F-15s, they were circling over the area around the airport. A private jet landed there around the same time so I wonder if they were escorting it.

Getting pretty tired of inconsiderate jerks (ranging from wedding people at Tatnuck Country Club to the military) pretending there's not a major city whose residents are all affected by their noisemaking.

They were F-15s. Saw them fly over Lake Q. I know there’s the 104th Air National Guard fighter wing near Springfield that has 15s, not sure if this was them. Nothing on their social media pages.

Other poster mentioned it looked like they landed and immediately took off so they're probably working on touch-and-go landings. That would also be consistent with circling the airport area.

Most air-force planes over Worcester have been coming from CT per family in said planes. C130s are the usual ones but have been grounded though due to prop failures so maybe that’s why jets now?

Odd. I noticed two definitely military helo's over the Lancaster area around noon today. Not moving particularly fast, and heading west.

I was golfing at green hill, they flew over us with very little sound compared to the f35s i saw a month ago in chicopee.. funny to hear everyone mention how loud it was. I must have been up wind or something.

No it's an FAA requirement that all planes from military(non combat) to your grandfather's prop plane to broadcast/transmit at a minimum their location(geo coordinates, altitude and speed), As well as your plane's tail ID number and planned route (but that's not always public). This is to avoid mid air collisions, and allow flight towers /FAA to direct air traffic. This is all done through a device in the plane, it can be turned off and on.

There are websites that collect all this data and that allow you to see all this data from your web browser. Just Google "air traffic radar map", and you'll see tons of options. ( I prefer flightradar24.com )

When the US government or military conduct operations they want kept out of the public eye, they have their planes turn off this, thus no longer "squawking" and invisible to just about everyone except themselves.

I knew the south side was bad but calling in the air force seems like overkill
