That map makes it look like they'll fly over the HEB Plus in Leander, corner of 2243 and 183.

I might just have to take my daughter to the HEB parking lot.

Trying to figure out the best place to go. Live in North Austin near Cedar Park and not too far from 620/I-35 Roundrock.

Since the purpose is to fly over hospitals, St. Davids on 620 will be right on the flight path.

Thanks!

The Lead Slot Pilot is a woman, Major Michelle Curran.  Pretty cool!  

(I realize this is a set-up, fire away gentlemen)

[Pescado_Rojo 19422]

looks like they're going to fly right down 1431. Maybe the Target/Academy at 1431/183A would be a good spot.

As if we couldn't tell after one look at the flight path.

and the tardiness

[Horn_Spanker 524]

Spent the last hour in my front yard with my dick in my hand, as if this was a Tuesday.

They're on an hour delay.

Is this how we’re supposed to get our stimulus checks?

Are they doing an inflight refuel?

I believe they're stopping at the NB Bucee's for refueling and Beaver Nuggets.

I thought this flightaware link was filtered for them but I don't see them yet:

Based upon the delay between San Antonio and Austin and starting Austin in Cedar Park from the north, I suspect they are refueling at Ft. Hood.

I would think Randolph AFB.  Map had them right over my house heard them but we couldn't find them in the sky.

Which was initially quoted as “five more minutes” with tone.

Five minutes early, over the HEB, had two trailing

[Cajun 11714]

I was coming out of the HEB near the Quarry in SA about 2 hrs ago or so and had forgotten about this.  Precisely when I got out of the door I felt a low steady and growing rumble, then heard what sounded like a rocket headed right for my head only to look up and see those fuckers on the hard deck a solid 3-Wood distance away directly above.

Best change of underwear I've ever had to make.

 

[ChickenSandwich 9843]

Just hit campus. Tits

Yeah thy sucked.  I ducked a conference call and drove to a good spot but they were early and I just saw the one in trail.  Lame.  

[South Austin 52519]

Saw the first pass over MoPac from my home in Brentwood.

[4th&Five 41558]

too low from my office.  only heard them.

[Nicole44 22061]

Pretty darn cool! That was fast. Didn’t get any decent pictures. Went to the hospital parking lot on 620/St. David’s. Cool to see all the health professionals in all their scrubs all excited. Flew right over us. 
 

thanks again @Jerry Callo

Flew over Cedar Park Medical Center, circled the Target/Academy and made a second pass over the hospital before turning SE and heading down 1431. Got a couple iPhone shots but I can't get tapa to load right now. 

[AUS-97HORN 11808]

i missed the Mopac pass through. and literally only saw them for .2 seconds 2 miles away on the way back up to pflugerville. 

 

honestly flying way too low to be seen by a lot of the city.

[hundredTT 578]

Hope all enjoyed. Ironically, as an essential worker in the prison system we all obviously missed it. 

[SquishMitten 10415]

Is it all over in Austin? Not on a flight path where I am in South Austin, but thought we still could’ve seen em at a distance

[Anastasis 23475]

That was cool. Came right over us. 
 

[Brisketexan 105154]

Heard em, never saw em.  Think they were too low and obscured by trees and clouds for us.  Oh well.

They flew directly over St. Davids on 620. We are in Brushy Creek and standing on our street I caught a brief glimpse of the chase plane.

 

[Orale 1087]

Saw them fly a loop around downtown SA. Pretty cool.

[Native Horn 3504]

Saw em in 78748 flying South down I35
