Does anyone know the flight path?

When I used to live in Allston, I’d hear them fly overhead, about 15-20 seconds before they’d show up on TV.

im pretty sure there parked at Hanscom AFB in Bedford before flying and then will fly direct

They will probably fly directly in from their bases. The F15s are from Western Mass and the 35s are from Burlington, Vermont. Not a long flight time for either of them

Ok!

I once flew into Hanscom and saw a couple of F18s supposedly going to Foxboro. I don't know much about military aviation, but it seems more likely they group somewhere, refuel, brief on the mission then fly out together but don't take my word for it

I can definitely see some airframes going there before doing a flyover, but for most stuff it’s squadrons and units somewhat local to New England. Last year was an airframe each from the MA, NH, and VT ANG

104th wing is out of Westfield so they are coming from WMass. Same group that does Gillette flyovers. So flying along the pike
