Unusual Activity

Earlier today a fighter plane roared over the house- so low I feared for the ridge tiles. A few hours later a military transport helicopter went chugging by.

Is there something going on we don't know about?

They're practising low runs for being part of the USAF/RCAF in the middle east.........

There is definitely something going on. A Google+ friend who lives just a little way to the north of me has seen a lot of military helicopter activity in his vicinity. But we haven't had extra jets, so it may be nothing. There are combined training operations every so often which don't always result in actual combat missions.

We get a lot of military choppers here anyway as we're the HQ town of the Royal Engineers.

No jets though.
