Didn't get the chance to take a picture, but I saw at least 2 or 3 military jets escorting an airliner in Northern Indiana. Anyone know why this would be the case?

Bro no bullshit just saw the same thing, military jet escorting a private jet in Texas today. Flying at around 1500-2000ft, within feet of each other. Super close. Looked it up on globe.adsbexchange.com and the military jets transponder was turned off, only logging a plane that flew out of Fayetteville, Arkansas. I believe the tag was N80EM, but I could've got the wrong one since I'm working too. After that military jet was doing flybys and straight vertical climbs.. Will let you know if I see anything else. The transponder of the military jet later came up on the vertical climbs, but it said no callsign and was going away, coming back and then stayed off..
To answer lower comment, no restricted airspace here..
Judas Pence is from Indiana. Just sayin
Could be a lot of different things.
Mostly means something fishy or someone important. Any idea on the escort? 2 planes, 5 planes any specific formation?
Klause going for a Chicago dog?
Two t38s and a mystery plane just past Cincinnati, came from Indianapolis?
Gotcha. Interesting though, they are being followed by a p8 not far behind. Heading to Virginia now.
If you get in restricted air space, you will see an escort. Not sure if this is the case for this incident.
Same…I’m in Lake County. Is the air show this weekend? I’m not a planefag so I wouldn’t know what I saw but it was low and loud.
I think we may have seen the same thing then.
The region
No, what is significant about that?
Oh wait, I think I know what you are talking about now. Some guy had a drone and made a video of it if I am not mistaken.
