Might be practicing for future LSU game.
Usually when they come over LSU they end up doing it for a football game.

Hah. I don't think it is quite that open ended. but I know they enjoy it.

Usually F-15s out of the base in Belle Chasse are what you see in BR.

I lived not far from the active runway at NAS Oceana VA. It was cool at first watching F4's, F14's and everything else the Navy had, but it was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet again once I moved away.

I heard them downtown. They were gone before I could go outside and look.

My glass shop is by Nashville's airport and we get F18s once every couple weeks taking off over us. You hear them coming and everyone in the shop grabs the nearest piece of loose glass on the racks to keep them from shaking and falling off the racks. I love feeling the power of them. They're only a few hundred feet over us when they pass. I'd give a lot to go up in one.

We often get flights on approach to BTR overhead. Sitting in the office, my first thought was that one was way too low or in trouble. Wasn't expecting to see a fighter jet pulling away from a low pass.


same here. I'm off Acadian. I was literally like "dang somebody came in hott and low" but then after a couple of seconds i figured it wasn't a normal plane. Didn't get to see them unfortunately.

F15 eagles fly over my house twice a day. Usually around 12pm.

Its impressive, but gets old when you're recording music. Have to like, take a break and do some drugs.

There is a F-16 for sale right now for eight million. Rare to see us jets on the market.


Hey a man has to have a pipe dream, right?

They could be relocating because of Dorian. Barksdale AFB is temporarily housing 60 F-16s from Shaw AFB in S. Carolina.

Any kind of latitude with a machine like that would be bad arse!

i've seen them there but have only seen them flying during air shows. It's the F18's I see always flying out of there.

They fly daily out of there. Most of the time they head south but occasionally they venture over Tiger Stadium. They have performed several of the fly-overs for games in the past.

Airstrike was called for Gravy's house. However it was aborted when the calculations of his burning fat would incinerate most of EBR.
