That flyover was, um, loud.

@mattblaze was someone scheduled to speak out doors about #releasetheepsteinfiles ?
@mattblaze any info on the type of plane and why it is buzzing DC? (Just asking the obvious question instead of replying, sub'd)
@cybeej Some reports it was Blue Angels, but can't confirm. See the thread for the track they were following.
@mattblaze looks like the target is bracketed. Fire for effect!
I've not been able to get outside to get a look at the specific aircraft, but according to ADSB traffic, it's done two passes down 16th st and directly over the WH at ~1000 ft.
Perhaps a bombing run to finish off the East Wing?
@mattblaze ground radar imaging of the bunker. <probably not, but why not speculate>
@mattblaze I got an AlertDC text message at about 9:15 am saying there would be a military flyover the mall today
@mattblaze loud here in Shepherd Park, too. supposedly for a funeral in Arlington . . .
@IzzyChambers definitely not the path they use for Arlington flyovers. This included the normally heavily restricted space over the WH.

EDIT: "[AlertDC] The U.S. military will conduct an aircraft flyover in the National Capital Region (NCR) over the National Mall on Monday, October 28, at approximately 11:15AM to 11:30AM."
bug bombing the WH? probably needs it with all that ketchup on the walls and now open to the outside elements.

I did think that scene in Olympus Has Fallen was well scripted.
Looks like it's coming around for a 3rd pass.
@mattblaze
maybe a military practice run in case they dont get paid. pumpkinhead is not the only one that knows how to send a message by intimidation.
The GOP really needs to do their job and propose a budget and tax package that will operate our government, all of it.
And that's 4 now (in the other direction now, for the sake of variety, I guess).
Meanwhile, nothing's taking off or landing at DCA.
Looks like DCA is flowing again, so this is probably done.
The good news is that my windows are evidently well installed.
@mattblaze I saw at least one helicopter fly nearby, on a path I've never seen one use before. I was on a Zoom call, so I couldn't pay enough attention to it.

@mattblaze a rogue Air Traffic Controller protesting over not getting paid?
@mattblaze wait. Is THAT what I just heard up in Silver Spring?
@mattblaze
Let us know you’re okay in a few minutes!
