Thanks,


This WebTrak thingy is a very neat tool. I was able to see the plane
in question:

As you can see, it turned out he didn't land on SJC, although from my
location (marked on the map) it looked right on the way to there. *I
asked because I live in the area from over 10 years and this is the
first time I see something like that - just curious.

Hello,


Today around 10:52am PDT (+/- a couple of minutes) I was in south San
Jose when I heard a very loud jet engine noise overhead. *When I
looked up I saw something that looked like a F-18 on the SJC landing
path for 30L or 30R. *It may have been a different plane - sorry, I
did not have my glasses - but it was definitely a military jet.


Did anybody notice this, and what was a military jet doing landing on
a civil airport?


I didn't see anything on the SJC flight tracker. *I watched 10:45am
to 10:55am.

FlightAware doesn't show anything military at SJC or at Moffett either.
