Airplanes Flying Overhead

It’s much cooler here today. I went out early for a walk and didn’t break a sweat. Dobbins airplanes have been flying over all morning so low they seem to almost touch the tree tops. They are either testing airplanes or pilots are getting in their practice. It’s a little scary having them fly so low overhead. What is everyone in mylot land doing today? Whatever it is I hope you have a joyful day. I’ll see you later if nothing breaks bigger than a frog hair.

Shortly after Hurricane Idalia hit our area, I kept hearing military jets and helicopters flying low overhead by my house (I’m on the flight path for planes landing and taking off from our airport). I found out later it was because President Biden flew in to our airport on Air Force One.

@RubyHawk Yes, the Air Force sends fighter jets to escort the Presidents plane wherever he goes.

@moffittjc Of course they do, but I hadn’t thought about it.

I wonder if airplanes follow the president everywhere he goes. I would bet they do. I’d never thought about that.

@writerjo I don’t live near a railroad so I don’t hear trains. I do live near a busy highway so I hear traffic. We have planes flying over but usually not as low. Good day to you.

I am enjoying the cooler weather. I don’t really mind planes flying over, my apartment complex is under their route. It does make a lot of noise when they fly most of the day but that doesn’t happen often.

You are right, I am always nervous when I hear the helicopter flying low over our roof.

@RubyHawk - I often see the drones of the Customs Police flying here in the sky. They check to be sure no illegal immigrants come inside from the forest.

We have helicopters fly over too, but not near as often as airplanes. Airplane look so big, it’s a little scary. There was a plane that crashed several miles away but that was years ago.

Sometimes we get jets that do fly overs over the nuclear plant that are very loud and low to the ground. It can be startling.

It can be, but I should be used to it. Dobbins Air Force Base just a few miles away. They don’t always fly low over the complex but often they do.

It has finally gotten cooler here too. Oh wow, those planes sounds like they're in flight so low. I know that feeling . . . we are near a hospital, so the helicopters fly down too low for my comfort. This past month has been nuts . . . but hopefully it stays more normal from here on out!!

There was a (at first private, then later public) airport behind my childhood home. I remember being 6-7-8 years old, and some friends and I were walking along the creek that ran right along the end of the runway. An airplane came in for a landing and went right above our heads. We all ducked, even though the landing gear was still maybe ten feet above our heads.

@xstitcher My sisters family didn’t live near the airport very long. I know the planes would wake up the babies in the night. She had four little ones.

That would have been so scary.My sister used to live near an airport. The planes continually took off right over their house.

That is scary when the planes fly low like that. We had helicopters that do that every six months or so. They are monitoring the trees close by the high power lines. They mark trees that need to be cut back or down. Last year they removed 3 trees from our property.

Helicopters do the same here. I see them flying over occasionally. Here in this complex the electric lines are underground but along the road there are electric and telephone poles.
