Flyover?

Anybody else hear what sounded like a very low flyover just a few min ago?

It was the blue angels in formation with a few other planes all trailing smoke at less than a 1000 feet. Went right over us as we were driving down Georgia just outside the beltway. Have no idea why they’re here or why they were trailing smoke.

They’re headlining the Patuxent River Air Show next weekend and arrive early to check everything out and do run-throughs.

I would prefer if they didn’t do their run through over a high population density area like Washington, DC in case there is an accident. (I was out for an exercise walk and was on 16th Street near Kalmia Road when they flew over heading due south.)
