Guilford Police Explain Why Low Flying Airplanes Reported Over Town Today

Shared by the Guilford Police Department on Facebook:

Several people called the station today to report large, low flying airplanes. We confirmed with the CT Air National Guard that they were conducting training with their C 130 planes.

Upon confirmation they let us know that in congested areas they are allowed to fly as low as 500 feet and in non-congested areas, they can be as low as 300 feet! ✈️

While it was a little scary for some residents in towns, it is an awesome sight to see and we are so very thankful for their service!
