I live near an air base and I was in the AF reserve until last week (Vax bs). Anyways, I used to fly missions pretty regularly and know what goes in and out of the air base near where I live. Today, I noticed at least 20 different formations of f-16s and f-35s, all of which are stationed at other bases near by. Never have I seen that many flying around a once. Some of the formations I saw I'm sure were repeats, but it was still bizarre. This evening I noticed 3 different formations of C-130s flying overhead. Definitely an oddity, as they aren't native to the base I was at. Anyone else noticing increased amounts of mil planes flying?

I have been hearing a lot of jet traffic over us, we are kinda between NAS Jax, Moody, and Eglin. The last 7-10 days we have had a lot of traffic over us but too high to see. I look at ADS and will see the occasional C-130J (refueling??) but none of the jets show up. It was so much more traffic that I was actually considering purchasing a Skyglass subscription to see what was going on.
We do hear jets every once in a while (couple times a year), they will fly practice missions out in the gulf and fly over us. But it has been noticeably more the last week or so. We had 2 blackhawks fly right over our house a couple months ago... heading south in the morning and returning in the afternoon. They ran that route for 5 or six days in a row, flying pretty low. And we will see the occasional warthog pair flying out of Moody - My parents are closer to Moody and see warthogs all the time.
