Bomber Overhead!

We were out yesterday and also saw them as we headed from Alton Bay to Wolfeboro. It was late morning as they swooped down low over the lake, maybe as low as 500 feet, one following close behind the other. Low enough that they rounded Rattlesnake and disappeared briefly. Then they banked sharply enough int a turn that their wings were almost perpendicular to the ground; very cool sight. You could hear the props as they approached but jet engine sound after they passed by so I'm guessing they were jet props. Maybe someone knows for sure.
