Interesting listening... That's been a pretty busy airplane, lately.
Lots of unusual military air traffic lately. Just yesterday, I spotted a pair of V22's low flying westbound over the 210, and minutes later, an eastbound B52 at about 8000ft over Riverside.
Your tax dollar at work.

Would have like to have seen the B-52. I see V-22's as well as lots of Marine helicopters passing over where I live, going back & forth from 29 Palms and Miramar, but no BUFFs yet. The coolest thing I ever saw was back in the early 60's, a whole fleet of bombers were apparently using Santa Monica for a practice bomb run. The whole sky was filled with contrails from the bombers and off to the sides, the corkscrewing contrails from the fighters escorting them. Exciting stuff for a kid to see in his own front yard!
