This might sound really dumb. I know the airport is over here, but it seems like I have been hearing way more planes than usual. And they been like back to back. Idk maybe I never paid attention to it before but it’s been back to back almost for about 30 minutes or so. Anyone else notice this?

I heard there's some kind of military training going on in Biloxi, so there's going to be way more air traffic than normal. We just saw 4 F-22's fly past!

F-35 flyover for the Senior Bowl. They're also doing (relatively) low altitude tracks around Mobile. We saw one over our house.

We just saw a fighter jet fly by. Did a barrel roll too! Pretty sure I heard there are training exercises at Keesler Air Force base in Biloxi.

3 fighter jets woke me up today in west Mobile around 1pm. I’m on night shift. Not the kind of alarm I need to wake up to.

I’ve noticed an uptick in both military training flights, Airbus test flights, and private (with senior bowl week).

I believe there's a few planes doing training rounds. At least the one was at the beginning of the week idk about recently tho. There are those that take off from the airport. And there's I guess a flight test airport somewhere past i10. As for why there's ramped up activity I have no clue. Though, qith it being the new year and all I can only assume the test flight place is definitely throwing out new planes. (Only conjecture tho)

Airbus finished a lot of planes and are completing test flights. Download flight radar app… it’s fun to see exactly what is overhead

I thought for sure a plane was about to crash nearby
