Boston Angel Sightings?

[mizarchivist]

caulay (in Cambridge) and ahf (in Medford) have indicated that they've both heard/seen a Blue Angel go through.  Who else? My bunker of an office buffers such interesting distractions.
ETA: Ok. Not Blue Angels, and for the Red Sox. Cool. Any other witnesses?

It's because of the Red Sox season opening -- they do a flyover to celebrate. See davis_square for a post about it.

I heard it here, but was not near any windows facing the right way. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2008/04/08/air_force_cutback_still_allows_roaring_fly_by_at_game_today/

From what I understand it's actually an F16 fighter squadron from Vermont ANG:

The flyover was presented by the 158 Fighter Wing 'Green Mountain Boys' of the Vermont Air National Guard. Four F-16 'Fighting Falcon' jets flew in and out of Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, MA for the Opening Day presentation.

The Blue Angels fly F/A-18s.

Right over MIT about half an hour ago or so. I expect it's the Fenway Opener fly-over.

Aha, is that why I heard fighters overhead at work today.
