I was driving home from work today, and noticed that a number of contrails of aircraft coming in from the east simply turned around over the DC area. Not sure how many aircraft, maybe 5 to 10 contrails though. Anybody know the reason for it? </font>
It could be military aircraft doing a flyover for someone who was buried at Arlington Cemetary. Or, didn't Bush come back from his ranch recently? Those could have been the escort planes flying off after he landed at Andrews.
