I was riding my bike on Foxton this morning and two planes, black, no markings that I could see, flew over and were barely off the tree tops. any ideas?

Spies.

Jets? we get them from the Academy sometimes.

they didn't seem like jets, flying too slow and not all that loud. I couldn't get a good luck as I was trying to stay upright and on the road.

C-130s? If so enjoy the sights and sounds of freedom! It is routine for C-130 crews to train in valleys so they can learn to use the valleys as a terrain mask to stay off the radars in the area.

If you happen to see a C-130 with a couple of barrels pointing out of the port side of the aircraft and it's flying in a circle, someone is about to have a bad day (it's an AC-130 and they orbit their targets, current versions include a 25 mm GAU-12/U, 40 mm Bofors cannon and an M102 Howitzer).

Ang, as we've discussed this exercise-thing before, I would take it as a personal sign not to ride the bike. ;)
