Did the one in Altoona start out as a Showbiz?

There’s a small squadron of F22’s doing some kind of drill in my area, as they’ve been rocketing past my house back and forth for the last 15 minutez

Thats........ odd for a Sunday. The only Raptors near you would be from JB Langley, and the Supers from NAS Oceana (both in the Norfolk area). Are you sure they're '22s and not '35s?

If they're low enough that you are aware of them, that sort of implies an MOA or SUA, but I'm not aware of any such airspace in your neck of the woods.

You know what? Good call, tif. F35 based on the angle of the vertical fins.

Also, there were what appeared to be a few F15’s mixed in there.

Well that's a different wrinkle. With it being 35s, they could've been C models, and so it would've been all Navy. But if there were 15s then that means Air Force, so you're back to it being a joint service exercise. Odd.

I’m pretty far away from the stadium, so I doubt it. They were also flying through every 5 minutes or so for a solid half hour.

I hadn't cobsidered the flyover aspect.They usually orbit for 20 minutes or so 10-15 miles from the venue to stage for a flyby. We used to get them every year the day of the Long Beach Grand Prix, and I've been at outdoor concerts with orbiting aircraft overhead for other nearby venues.

Edit: ACC Aerial Events page only has flyovers from August, so cannot confirm.

Edit edit: Found multiple social media posts that show a 4-ship flyover of F-15 Eagles at the PHI game. Not sure what the other aircraft in the area were there for.

We're on the flight path from Whiteman to Arrowhead in KC. A couple times each fall we'll have B2's flying circles around our house. For their Veteran's Day game two weeks back it was a quartet of A-10s.

Very cool. It's always a little unnerving, after some exertion, to feel your head pulsating.

This is an absolutely terrifying video, and I remember when I watched it a while back I was caught between horror at what those people were going through and little bursts of laughter every time someone got ragdolled.
