5-plane formation just after noon over Seattle today.

May have been F/A-18s or F-15s as the best images I have show what look like two engines and twin tails.
By coincidence, perhaps, there were a trio of F/A-18Fs from VF-154 "Knights" at KBFI last night. Tails 102, 103 & 105. NH tail code denotes ties to Carrier Air Wing 11, which is Teddy Roosevelt's.
There was also an AFSOC 🇺🇸 C-146A Wolfhound at KBFI last night - 12-3040 #AE68BA
AFSOC 🇺🇸 C-146A Wolfhound 12-3040 #AE68BA is currently returning from Elmendorf after Red Flag 22-2 wrapped up.
Since it sounds like a bunch of sources are now saying they were F-15Es (and given no one heard them because they were so high up, I believe them), I started looking for F-15E bases in the US and it so happens an Eielson AFB to Nellis AFB route would take them right over Seattle!

Watched House of Dynamite.

My opinion in my replies. Image
Fantastic film. Perhaps the best of the modern era in terms of nuclear war fiction. Invoking the plot lines of a number of many prior films without actually drawing them to their full conclusions.

That said, I felt there were several major problems.
First, the whodunnit.

The scenario is made possible by a certain amount of ambiguity as to whether the DPRK, PLA or Russia launched the initial missile, made possible by a failure of detection by an early warning satellite in a region in which all 3 nations share interests.

SAR does not give enough detail to determine any damage to additional airframes in imagery, or to the extent.
