...Last evening when I heard several large planes overhead I could only imagine that they were military planes on some sort of patrol. It's a different world now.</font>
Last night I was walking my dog and the skies were quiet. I am in the lower southwest corner of the City and directly under flight paths for outbound jumbos and inbound smaller craft to SFO, plus the OAK and SFO turns that lead south toward LAX. On any walk I'll see and hear 5-10 jets. Last night, none, then a quiet but constant engine sound from a very high altitude military plane flying patrols over the west coast. I had to come straight home. I am not ready to fly.
