No, I'm not losing it. First time I saw it my buddy did as well. Two what looked to be commercial jets flying due north in tandem like one was re-fueling. They went directly overhead at about 7,500-10,000 feet.
I am about 75 miles east of JFK and LaGuardia airports. i was about to just let it go as that was strange, but again today I saw them. It was from a different angle and they definately looked to be flying close enough and in a formation to refuel. They were both similar sized 2 engine jets similiar to a DC-9 I think. Too high to see markings. Anybody have any good speculations?
#1 I have never seen a commercial jet fly due north here before. Well, not since 9/11, and those were military patrols.
#2 why would they in flight fuel so close to major airports?
#3 I don't think commercial aircraft can fuel in flight.
#4 Who would be training in that type of aircraft?
