Did not see or hear a damn thing. Perhaps stealth aircraft? I'm just south of Palomar Airport so maybe they avoided the airspace.

They did a NorCal flyover yesterday. Flew almost directly over our house. Four F-15's in pretty close formation. We live about 5 miles from the beach aa Pismo and they were just slightly inland from our place.

Saw and heard one, flying west over Rolando. It was loud enough to hear it, then I went out side to look, saw it, and then it was gone.
Awesome!
SD has always been a military town. First time I have seen
a white jet instead of the usual Blue Angels at the Air Show.

There are a lot of 49er and Warriors fans around here who would disagree. In any case the flight yesterday went from the Air Guard base in Fresno north to Sacramento, west to the SF Bay area and then south along the coast to Santa Barbara then back to Fresno. I have for many years felt that this area is neither northern or southern Ca. I could happily live out my remaining days never going north of Monterey or south of Santa Barbara except for my Baja trips.

Earlier this week, the Air Guard did a fly over of several communities in Northern California. They were flying T38 trainers, and I am not sure which of the bases around here was their launch point.

I saw them as they circled Escondido... I was in Rancho Bernardo when they came into view (and sound too), at 12:25 today.

Rode my bicycle to Sorrento Valley Road at the 5/805 merge and watched them fly over La Jolla Scripps with smoke then do a loop over La Jolla VA two of the wingmen got out of formation then they got back in and they hauled north up the 5. Always cool to see the jets. Tbirds are my 2nd fav behind the Blues but they are all good.
:cool:

I agree 100%. I have always considered that area south of Monterrey and north of point conception Central Coast. My favorite part of Ca.

California is indeed a diverse land geographically, and even more so if California had never been divided between two countries! Mexican California kept the adjective "Baja" but American California dropped the "Alta"... Now there are some in Mexico who want to drop Baja from the name! Some in La Paz would like their state to be called Sud California (Southern California) instead of the way too wordy Baja California Sur (South Lower California)... for the land that was the first place to be named 'California'! The body of water alongside it is still the Gulf of California, after all!
:light::biggrin:

Just for the record..... I live in "Central California"

Put your finger on the exact middle of the state
East/West and North/South
and you are hovering right over my house.

Not according to people in North Fork! They claim to be the geographic center of the state, so the dividing line has to run through there.

The way to tell where the center is, is to make a cut out of the state. Then balance it on your finger to locate the center!

CA Air Natl Guard's 144th Fighter Wing out of Fresno may be what you're referring to.

They reported that air congestion from the coast to Escondido caused them to bypass that leg.

fyi
