F15 buzzing Tree tops in Indy?????

Anyone else just see an F15 flying low as crap over the city? It was only about 150ft off the ground. It was flying towards the airport, climbed to about 2k then barrel rolled a couple of times.....


Flyover for Indy 500 practice??

 

[Westside]

sure there weren't three.... most likely getting some training in for the 500 flyby.

Just flew over my jobsite at Kessler and Michigan Rd.

Spasmo reported three F-16's in formation over Indy Metro Airport in Fishers. She said they flew over a couple of times before departing at around 12:15. I heard them fly over but they were gone before I could get outside.

Maybe so, by the time I looked I only saw one. Might have been trailing each other rather than side by side.

They were F-15's and there are 3. Saw them 5 minutes ago up here.

One thing I miss about living near an air base is getting to see frequent F-16's and C130's. There's nothing I don't love about flying, and fighter jets are the Ferrari of aircraft.

f-15'S.... F-15'S!!!!

You're right, I typed too fast.

I work just north of the track and have heard them a couple times over the past week.

F-15=2 go fastys
F-16=1 go fasty

 

[bobzilla]

F-15=2 go fastys
F-16=1 go fasty

as well as twin tails on teh F15, the under scoop on the F16 etc.... The F15 is the CTS-V of the fighter world... Big, brutal and fast. THe F-16 is the Elise. Smaller, lighter, nimble.

People on Indy subreddit are calling it "terrorizing" -_-

just buzzed 62nd & Allisonville Road around that same timeline. #Motorin'

I'll still take an a10 any day. Low slow and will kick your ass even after taking enough damage to take down any other fighter.

The A-10 would be that 1974 Chevy C10 that you've had for 30 years, hauled TONS in the bed and it always gets up and goes. Sure it ain't pretty or fast, but it gets the job done and done well.

God help those redditors if they are ever on the highway during maneuvers weekends. I can't imagine what they would say about a long line of scary trucks full of troops.

I bet bet they sh themselves a couple years back when they had the joint ops training. I work near naval avionics and at one point the sky was FULL of various helos.

So this changed?

Indy 500: Budget cuts mean no US military flyover - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

 

[cook4army]

Its possible that the Indiana Air National Guard is footing the bill for a fly over. Either that, or they are qualifying pilots to fly the F-16's, as they are replacing the states A-10 Warthogs (huge mistake IMO).

As a guy who gets to spend this weekend on the flightline in Ft. Wayne with them, I take offense at you calling my girl ugly!
