Escorts would have been up and probably refueled well ahead. What's the history?
All 3 jets were on ascent. I was working in the garage and heard abnormally louder jet sound. Just what I saw. Thought it was unusual. Used to seeing military craft. Just not in that grouping.
Checked the flight path. It shows that craft passing directly over my location climbing from about 5000 to 8000 as it passed overhead.
Should this flight tracker have shown escorts?
No, they can transmit a different squawk and it won’t show up on normal ads-b
