Military aircrafts flying over Indy?

[40calPUNISHER]

I live by Eagle Creek and just witnessed four pairs of what looked like V-22 Ospreys fly over. I went inside and heard a few more go over... Anyone know what they are doing? Anyone else see them?

Two flew over the house a couple weeks ago while I was water the flowers for my wife! I didn't have my phone on me and wanted to stay outside to watch em. It was pretty cool to seem, they were pretty low to the ground!

They were practicing flyovers (yesterday) for the NASCAR race (likely the Sprint Cup Race tomorrow).

Were they black or another color? Did they have a gun on the lower part of the plane?

 

[FatsMcKay]

I was just treated to a three ship fly over by Chinooks. They were heading approx. N/NE (300). most Likly heading towards Atterbury.

 

[Hammer]

I see that stuff all the time.


But Atturberry adjoins my property though.

They are getting ready to launch an invasion of Indy...

Our home is in the approach flight path of a runway at FWI, (home of the 122nd Fighter Wing Airbase) so we see A10 "Warthogs" flying over our home all the time, with many of them low enough where you can clearly see the details of the forward Gatling Gun and twin engines. We used to see F16's, but they were replaced with the 'Hogs.

Two very distinct sounds between the sharp "searing" sound the twin GE turbofan engines of the Hog and the thunderous "gushing" sound of the Pratt-Whitney turbofan afterburner engines of the F-16's!

Simply awesome!!

Tactical black with guns and missles and lasers... and ninjas.

They were grey and bare.

I was a jet engine tech on A-10s for 12 years. After having worked F-4s, we called the A-10, the "20 ton dog whistle."

I personally, love that sound. When I hear it, I know someone is about to get a lot of flowers, rainbows, and unicorn farts...

New to Indy? there is this think called the Speedway....

 

[Suprtek]

I saw them yesterday too. I just assumed it had something to do with the speedway.

I saw two A-10 Warthogs fly over Anderson this morning about 10:00 am heading north north-east. Last week or so I saw three heading heading south west at higher altitudes. Just wondered what was up. Is Anderson on a flight route now?

It was most likely part of a training flight over Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Moto GP... I saw them on Indy's northwest side around 13:55. it looked like they were only a couple hundred feet off the deck.
