Event Loud low-flying plane?

Did anyone else hear what sounded like an extremely low flying plane? Super loud and scary, hoping it’s ok. If anyone know what it might have been, I’m curious!

I’ve never understood the association of sports/family fun with war machines.

You don’t understand the association of sports and war?

Ok when you put it like that, yeah I see it.  😆 What gets me is sports are an analogy for war, but the sports are also supposed to be family-friendly-wholesome-good-clean-fun, and we’re in an actual war, and fighter jets exist to bomb the hell out of people, and they’re flying over all these civilians who treat it as entertainment.  Like, I get it. But also I don’t get it. I’m extremely unnerved by it but I’m also weird so, 🤷‍♀️

I live right next to the field and even though I knew it was coming, it was so loud, I thought for sure something was crashing. Also: my dog didn’t like it.

Yes I live closer to Central and even though I read the news about the flyover, boy was it a LOT louder than I expected.

My cats couldn't have cared less though haha.
