sorry forgot to search the threads first. Still noted by many no noises heard at all from multiple sources fwiw.
It was 40 C-17s, and 20 C-130s from bases around the country, heading to Nellis as part of a Joint Force Exercise, called Coyote Freedom.

Wondering how often people hear the sound of aircraft flying at altitude to begin with? Especially when they're in a city or town and the aircraft are at altitude miles and miles away?

I live right in a city with moderate high air traffic. I never hear them at those altitudes (military flies higher than civilian craft) unless I am in the middle of one of our county parks outside of the urban parts. Than I can just barely hear a faint low hum-rumble, and will look up to see a jet far away in the sky. But That is never noticeable in my front yard or on any city streets.
You would have to be pretty isolated, surrounded by trees helps, and sort of be under it.

Joint Force preparations for invading another hapless country, probably Korea. They will need massive resupply by air once the balloon goes up. You can tell its a precursor because it includes the word "Freedom".
Just like Operation "Iraqi Freedom" and "Enduring Freedom".
