The sight of a large plane accompanied by two fighter jets over MetroWest on Sunday — apparently a part of the Patriots’ opening game festivities — unnerved some residents amid the 9/11/01 20th anniversary weekend.
NBC 10 Boston reports Flightaware, a flight tracking service, showed the plane departed Portsmouth, New Hampshire around 2:28 p.m. and landed at 4:52 p.m. at the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease, where the Pease Air National Guard Base is located.
The planes apparently circled the MetroWest area several times, according to the news station, and eventually flew towards Foxboro before circling back north.
