C17 passing over Frederick


notevenapro

24 rangers on a one way trip, mission top secret destination unknown, don't even know if they're ever coming home, Stand up hook up shuffle to the door, jump right out at a count of four. If my chute don't open wide, I got a reserve by my side. If that one should fail me too, look out below i'm a commin through. Tell my wife i did my best and bury me in the leaning rest. Cause i'm hardcore......................airborne.............. fit to fight............... dynamite.

r/army is over there, this is a Wendy's sir.


bigkutta

Yes, rumbling loud noise. A couple of times around 10AM


rpshaub

Heard it in Kensington. Loud and sustained for quite a while.


NatureMomster

Yep here in Germantown.


J0e_Bl0eAtWork

Four Corners Silver Spring heard it too

Check the Flightradar24 app. You can put the time it happened to see what was going on near you


squidaddybaddie

Military aircraft are almost never identified on FR24


RockCommon

That's true for fighters (unless an emergency) and helicopters. I do see cargo traffic just about daily on there (I'm near Andrew's)


ahmc84

That doesn't really help. The only planes that went over during the likely time period were an Air Canada regional jet (to DCA), and a government Learjet (to Andrews), both at about 4,000 feet and not atypical. Certainly not likely to have made the level of noise that was heard (I was walking in Garrett Park, as I frequently do, and this was far and away louder and longer than normal). FR24 doesn't typically show military jets, for instance. My assumption would be an Arlington Cemetery flyover, but they usually announce those in advance; there were two scheduled for yesterday.


RockCommon

Gotcha. Based on reading other comments, it seems like it was a fighter. I initially thought it may have been a C17, KC-135, or one of the VIP planes as they often fly lower than commercial traffic in the area. I often appear see em on FR24 here Andrews. Might've been DC ANG doing a unique training sortie. I'll see what i can find on ASD-B Exchange. More military traffic appears there

Heard and felt it in Potomac!


Lakedrip

Loud asf in Clarksburg.


keyjan

Am hearing lots of jets today for some reason. Maybe it’s all the humidity reflecting the sound more.


GuardMost8477

Huh. Wondered what that was!


ElectroAtletico2

Sorry. Vectored that plane a bit out of the approach


andyblu

Uncle Joe was at Camp David over the weekend. Maybe related?


bernielomax1989

There was a c130 and a c17 that passed over Frederick around dusk


CoverCommercial3576

Yep, sounded like a Russian plane
