[Scan-DC] jet noise early Sunday morning?

[Doug Kitchener]

I bet it _was_ CAP... didn't dawn on me.  I actually hear something now (1:30 p.m. Monday) faintly, 'way off in the distance and/or up high... can barely hear it but it could be something similar.

We rarely see the really big jets, both civilian and military, here in Gaithersbush - I suppose due to the air routes... seems like most of the really large stuff is in lanes to the south and east and bound for IAD or ADW.  On the occasions when I'm on the beltway over in PG county, I'm always enthralled with the military air traffic.

Of course, we _do_ get the occasional intercept at GAI...
