I admit I am brand new to the whole planefagging thing, but I've not seen this many fighters in the air at once before. The cluster over Pensicola is crazy.
Blackhawks involved in that one too.
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ -- click U and zoom in on the areas.
Wonder if they're gearing up for something?
The TEX2's and the T38's are training aircraft. No real biggie. The ones that I wonder about are the surveillance ones like the P8's, E6's, E3's and such. Not to mention all the flying gas stations...
I took a screenshot of the area to show the four clusters I saw of planes. They're all military craft, and each cluster is fighters. If you go to https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ and click on the U at the top right, it filters to show only military aircraft and clicking on a plane shows you flightpath and plane info. You can move the map anywhere you want in the world.
Not sure how uncommon it is, since I'm new to the plane spotting (unlike others here), but it seems like four HUGE training exercises that makes me wonder what they're getting ready for since I haven't seen anything like this yet.

There's a handful zipping over the Delmarva too.
Is there a forum where current plane patterns and stuff is discussed?
we used to have a sticky here, but the mods took it down yesterday.
Not sure of any other forums, I only discovered this hanging out here.
Cool...thanks for the reply!?

Can you please explaining what I am seeing here? Are those all military aircrafts? Is that uncommon? What is in the middle of that area?
