I think that's only if they're flying super high, since the jet is still loud, just when it's far up it takes longer for the sound to reach you then it does for the jet to fly past your house. If the jet were low, you'd hear it pretty quick.

yay flyovers! B2s are pretty damn quiet for jets. A Concorde flew over my backyard once, low enough to see the landing gear sticking out clearly. No idea what it was doing in my area though.

We have an airforce base in syracuse and its right near my dads office. F-15's and F-16's along with other larger planes are a regular occurance there. Once every couple weeks they fly over my house too. I saw them yesterday.

above my house is restricted airspace and i always see random military/ airforce jets and helicopters flying over, like apache helicopters and a-10s and a few times some f-16's. and they are always flying really low, the apaches fly just above the trees and they are in formation and it gets pretty loud. its all weird htough seeing as i live almost in the boonies and the millitary base is not even close to my house and the afb is even farther away.

i was watching a show about them and one of the pilots said his first mission to afghanistan lasted 40hours and included 6 air-to-air refuelings

the B-2's are based in missouri, so missouri to afghanistan, and then back

An a-10 went over our school when I was in 2nd grade. It was the coolest thing ever especially since I was really into planes back then.

A-10's buzz our lake all the time in the summer. They like fly low because the mountians surround them on either side.

spitifres? wtf thats a piston engine fighter from WW2, absolutly no reason they would be flying with a B52, those things are vintage and you'd pay literally millions for one of the few left these days.

you may be one of the stupidest people alive. Sometimes they travel at the speed of sound which is why that happens.

On the Normandy beaches in Europe 3 planes flew over in a side by side formation, I thought it kinda suited the setting we were in.

Yea, b-2s are pretty sweet.

And no, whoever it was, did not see a spitfire, let alone 2 of them with a b-52 (which isn't stealth just to let you know)

a few years ago i was in normandy at the american cemetery, and 3 f-16s flew low over us, and dipped their wings...i thought it was appropriate.

last year i went to school right next to the biggest air force reserve of C130 gunships in the country. For those that dont know, they are BIG ass 4 prop planes, loaded to the brim with guns. needless to say, those fuckers were pretty much constantly in the air around campus, flying supppper low. like, low enough to see pilots.

nope, before they moved the b-2s to diego garcia the very first strikes on afghanistan we're missioned based out of missouri

they interviewed a usaf pilot and he said it was a 40-hour flight with 6 refuelings

i think they have shut down bombing operations from diego garcia as of a few weeks ago now

No it doesnt matter how high it is, it depends on how fast its flying only. If its close enough so that you can hear the sound, but its going faster then the speed of sound (like 750 mph ish if i remeber right) then its just that the jet goes by you before the sound waves even get to you. Thats how you get sonic booms and shit too when the waves pile up on eachother.

My dads buddy flew a fighter jet over his hometown when he was in the airforce and the sonic boom blew shutters off houses and set off car alarms and shit so he says.
