What a day / Military Aircraft

The planes were F-15's... Probably from the 104th out of Barnes ANG in Westfield Ma... cannot tell from this pic if they F15C or F15D versions.

Awesome planes!

I saw them as well, however I wasn't at the lake but rather at my sister's house in New Boston NH. They were on a NE bearing as they flew over... two of them side by side. They appeared to be F-15's. Nice to see some military hardware flying around. Sad to think some don't like it.

We got a great look at them from Sleepers. 2 F-15's possibly from Otis AFB on Cape Cod.
They circled twice just before 2 pm and then made a "B" line south to do a flyover at the start of the NASCAR race.

On a similar note...I was coming south through Franconia Notch last Wednesday when I heard a loud prop plane and then saw a huge shadow on the ground go by me. I saw what looked like 2 C- 130's (4 engine turbo props) fly right overhead through the notch. They were banking hard right and left as they went right down through the middle of the notch no more than a few hundred feet up, certainly well below the height of the surrounding mountains.
Awesome sight to see such a large plane maneuver like a fighter. You gotta know those pilots were having fun!!

No worries. There is always next season.

Correct, the Eagles are now based in Westfield with the 104th where they replaced A-10s. The 102d at Otis is now an Intel Wing. No more air missions.
