Default Anybody hear the jets just now?

Two fighter-type jets just flew over the downtown area (4:06pm) headed east. Was very loud! Anybody know what's going on?

I called the newsdesk at WBBM-AM to ask if they knew anything about the fighter jets. They heard and saw them too from the Prudential Bldg, but didn't know what they were doing here. They said they were looking into it.

Wow, when did that start? BTW, these same jets just flew over the lakefront again, right over Navy Pier, about half hour ago.
