was there an air show some where near by? That looks like the Air Force Thunder Birds.

I heard something but wasn't sure what it was. Usually don't hear air traffic but it didn't sound like thunder. I bet this is what it was. I did not see them however.

I think they are in town for the All Star Game........Maybe a flyover at the end of the National Anthem?  They must have been pretty low cause Mrs. Retro says she just had her normal lense on......It is the Thunderbirds....

Tonight, I saw them, heading south about 6:30 PM
6 of them. Pretty high. Still cool though.
