Few weeks ago approx early Sept. two f 18's heading SW about 40 mi out of Chicago buzzed the shop I work at. Time was about 5pm. They were very low and appeared to be armed. Couldn't find anything on the web on what they were up to. Anyone?

They've found you. They ARE out to get you. Beware! Shocked

Do you live near Purdue University? If so, VR1640 is a low level route that runs through there, and there's a SW leg in the vicinity.

No, this happened NW of Chicago, in Crystal Lake IL. A freind of mine located North of my location saw them also. He claims that they were heading east at around the same time. They must have circled for some reason.

To correct the last post, my friend saw them heading West. I do suppose the Route near Purdue could easily be extended by 60 Mi in a few minutes also.
