Thanks man. Just added to my calendar.

Did anyone see it? I went to Showalter Fountain from 1:05 to 1:25. Never saw it.

Nah I'm too far away from their planned flight path. Your slight line at the fountain isn't very wide is it? If they were flying at 1000' (which would be proper min altitude over a populated area) they would have to be pretty damn close to where you are.... IF I remember the fountain sight lines correctly.

Actually, I am not even finding it on Flight aware. I wonder if it was scrubbed?

Yep, there aren't a lot of clear views on campus between buildings and trees.

A person standing out near me said they saw a video from Terre Haute. So I guess it at least happened early, maybe the haze made them call it off?

I was stationed at Grissom AFB. When IU won the title in 87 I was the only one in the room who was rooting for IU. When Smart hit that shot I was the lone person jumping up and down. We would see the KC-135's a lot even when we moved off base when we got married.

I noticed Kokomo was one of the last places they're flying over.

I'm going to assume they got there fast and then they took it slow.


I'll show myself out.

Actually I've only been outside a couple time today and that Haze is real ! That would have put them as flying IMC/ IFR and would have probably changed their flight plans, at least the altitude part, maybe not the path.
