it's about 4:12 right now, and i'm in Orange CA, which is right near the DLR, and since it' also pretty darn close to the beach, like 10 mi from disneyland, and 10 mi from me, take or leave some, which also means we get costal patrols flying over the area, frequently, but typically, you hear the jet roll on by, or the sound rolls anyway, for the past half hour, this patrol has been flying over my area, and it's really quite creepy.

I've also noticed TONS of military helicoter traffic near the DLR, aspecially since i spent the day there today, granted, it's normal for helo's to transport whatever from base to base, and along the route of freeways and major streets many of which go right near DLR, but they're flying low and fast, and the traffic is definatly increasing, not like there's anything we can do about it, but be sure to keep on your your eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary.

I'm a pilot and can tell you it's nothing out of the ordinary. The military traffic is from the Los Alamitos reserve base. It's not uncommon to see a Black Hawk helicopter or F-16.

The jet traffic you are hearing is from John Wayne airport. Very loud, very often....very normal.
