Derg fly-by?

I thought the same, but figured that, that was due to the lower power setting when we would normally hear them.

Oh, absolutely. Training out of FTG, they're quite literally buzzing around all the time. I don't know exactly what sound I was expecting to hear from a fly-by at cruse altitude/speed, but it wasn't that fighter-like sound from the video.

The hair dryer sound, maybe? That's what I always expect when hearing an A318-21, or a CRJ.

I had the volume down. Why should the sound make the video? That's the dumbest thing I've heard. People love Dane Cook. Because he's funny. Turn the sound off = he's not funny. Try it. Then turn the sound (read:not volume) back on. He's still not funny. Magical. You laugh your butt off. Turn the background sound off. Not funny. Turn it back on. Stays not funny.

Same premise here. It's a freaking airbus cruising. $20 says the pilots had no idea it was anywhere near them.

"Delta xxx, you have a weather balloon..."

"We're looking. (As they finish arguing about Trump, TA, regionals, hotel committee, etc."

Not trying to ruin the buzz about the vid being posted. Just that it's "that cool" of a video. If it is, I'll catch y'all in a couple weeks when I return back to work.

Kind of the same reason I don't think an F-18 landing on a carrier is a cool video because it has Steppenwolf for background music.

In 36 years of flying, never had (our archaic according to traffic cone) ATC call out wx balloon. Does that ever happen?
 
Would have been fun to watch the balloon drift up and take readings through the contrail. But I suppose that would just agitate the chemtrail folk.

It does, but it's rare. My last wx balloon call was probably 2 months ago....before that it had probably been a few years.

With 80+ being released at least twice a day you would think there would be more reports of them....but there isn't.

Over by Stillwater? Blairstown Airport right there is a big glider base.

I think it was. Right over a VOR on the airway.

That is the most adrenaline I've had shoot out of my epididymis in a long time.
