While going to an appointment this afternoon, I heard jet sounds. The top was down so I hear things well in the car. I look up as I'm entering the interstate and see three fighters in formation. They were Dassault Mirages! Over Springfield, Massachusetts! At maybe 2500 feet in formation. The entrance is pretty hectic, so I had to be very careful in watching them while watching traffic approaching on my 6.
There's an airshow coming up in a couple weeks, but I'd be very surprised to have them arriving his early and there's no listing of them on the air show website.
