I live just south (in a relative sense, to Jets) of Buckley Air Force Base and when they take off, they will frequently rattle my home and set off car alarms.

Just heard a few scramble now, on a rainy Friday evening. Could just be an exercise or could be something else?

Normally I hear them Weekends (when I am home) in the morning.

As a military base, I guess there will be very little shared with the public, but I do sometimes wonder if it is something other than a training mission, etc.

Just trying to see if there is any rhyme or reason to this, or (more likely) not.
