Any chance it had something to do with security for hypothetically picking up Obama's daughter at summer camp prior to heading to the Vineyard??

Where I live most of the time, north central MA, we have these things flying over quite often.

They usually fly in threes, sometimes four, and fly just over the tree tops. I often hear them coming for some time when I'm out raking leaves in the fall.

They are on military training runs and practicing low profile, low altitude maneuvers. They seem to like the terrain of the Nashoba Valley for this.

One time I was on a high point in town where you can see west to Mt Wachusett and beyond. I watched them come across the valley from western MA. It was a pretty cool thing to see.

Perhaps a similar training run? The Lakes are not that far from the Nashoba Valley as the "crow" flies.
