Its not called Manchester Logan?

They were likely F-15s out of Westover. They did not look like F-35s, which are in Vermont. I live about 2 miles from MHT and also think I heard one take off about a week ago heading north toward Vermont.

My ADS-B Scanner feeding FlightAware does not pick them, no surprise there.

Edit: video I took of one on its third pass

F-15 over concord on Tuesday. I agree this is also likely an F-15 either working MHT or heading to the practice area near lake winnipesaukee.

Also OP isn't sure if hes in Boston or Manchester, I guess?

Lol it is a called Manchester-Boston Regional so I suppose we can call it a brain fart.

Anyways, I’ve definitely noticed and uptick in fighter air craft in the area. About a month ago I saw a C-5 globe master come down close enough I thought it might land at MHT. Since we only have two fighter wings in New England it’s interesting. Could mean nothing, could mean something. Like I said my ADSB tracker doesn’t pick them up which means they’ve shut their transponders off for a reason. We are left to wonder.

Just call it MHT, the long form is stupid and the abbreviation isn't confusing to us locals.

I like Manchester Logan though!

I think they were F-15s

I took a picture as they were coming in to land: https://imgur.com/a/YRp1Elw

The state police called them in to help with enforcing the speed limit.

Were they F22s? An ex military guy I work with thought they were F35s.

>Anyone have insight?

They were just doing training. At work, I park my car on the other side of the fence from one of the runways, and the military is here doing training like once a month or so. This is the second time in 3 years I have seen fighter jets, but C130s or similar are way more common. They just don't make as much noise. The windows were shaking in my building.

Managed to get a good video of the vapor cloud one made as it was turning away from the runway.

Routine training. They do this all the time.

edit: video proof . F-15s not f-22's

The only insight I have is I thought they were going to crash into my apartment, they sounded so low. My poor elderly cat was terrified (and so was I, since that's what I woke up to!)

They were circling over my work parking lot. Definitely F-15s, not F-22s.

I was about 100 to 150 ft under the F-15s while they were ripping their touch and go's and pulling HARD turns to do another pass -- amazing experience. 158th out of VT, I would imagine.

Biden is looking to make an example of the free-staters. Going to make Waco look like a camp fire.

I’ve heard a ton of jets in the white mountains the last 3-4 days. More than I’ve ever heard living hear. I saw 2 flying in formation near Wildcat. Wonder what’s going on? Preparing for Russia/China?

lol . Nothings going on. Military aircraft are always in the air someplace over New England , every day , for decades.

There’s definitely been a lot more lately though. I’ve seen plenty of military training here, but not at the frequency that I’ve seen it the past couple months.

November 2022 the F-15EX models began rolling out the upgrade "self defense" suite, I wonder if the 15s are getting a taste now

We could get ~1000 people housing for the cost of one F22.

You could get 100000s of people housing for the price we give out in aid to other countries instead of our own people.

Foreign aid is like 1% of the defense budget and at least somebody's enjoying it.
