\u201cYep. Twice. Loudest I\u2019ve ever heard,\u201d another user responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat in the heck kinda fighter jet or plane just flew over Dallas twice that\u2019s not registered on radar,\u201d another wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n A jet, which internet watchers identified as a F\/18 Super Hornet, landed at the Dallas airport just after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n Aviation News<\/p>\n By signing up, you agree to our\u00a0Terms of Service<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Privacy Policy.<\/a><\/p>\n The jet took off again and came back about 30 minutes later. When it landed again, it was following another F\/18 Super Hornet fighter jet. The planes then taxied to a spot near JSX\u2019s hangar for refueling.<\/p>\n These kinds of planes are common on the western side of the metropolitan area where Lockheed Martin has a major F-35 manufacturing facility<\/a> \u2015 but not in central Dallas and Love Field<\/a>, where Southwest Airlines is headquartered.<\/p>\n Some of the excitement was captured by plane watching Youtube channel Runway DFW<\/a>. Walt Zwirko, who runs the live feed, said later that he didn\u2019t have the correct angle to film the jets taking off again.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was quite something to see,\u201d Zwirko said in an interview. \u201cI can understand why people around Love Field and North Texas would be paying attention.\u201d <\/p>\n The plane wasn\u2019t tracked by the FAA\u2019s system, which isn\u2019t uncommon for military jets. <\/p>\n A spokesperson for Dallas Love Field said that they didn\u2019t have information on the fighter jets.<\/p>\n \u201cThe military does utilize DAL for various operations,\u201d Love Field spokesman Patrick Clarke \u201cOur team, however, does not track nor is privy to their flight plans or purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n The FAA referred any questions to the military. <\/p>\n One of the jets had the letters \u201cN H\u201d on the tail, indicating that it was a part of the U.S. Navy\u2019s \u201cStrike Fighter Squadron 211,\u201d based out of Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Va. <\/p>\n The squadron is nicknamed \u201cFighting Checkmates\u201d as shown by a large checkmark on the jets\u2019 tails.<\/p>\n Representatives for the U.S. Navy\u2019s Southern Command did not respond to requests for comment by the time of publication.<\/p>\n Aviation reporter Jordan Parker contributed this report.<\/p>\n North Texas airports expect millions of travelers this holiday season. <\/p>\n Thunderstorms could continue in the D-FW region throughout Thursday afternoon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two military fighter jets buzzed over North Texas last night for unknown reasons \u2014 shaking some residents before…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[31,102,104,103,15387,12450],"class_list":["post-58380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-airlines","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-love-field","tag-veterans-and-military"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Passengers](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/YXLPEKQEWJASLLZOGAF3ALFUGY.jpg\")
