I have seen patrols over my neighborhood since April 2015. There were two types of planes flying over the same area, then I would see them fly around my hometown at a low altitude. One is an E-2C Hawkeye and the other is an RC-135. I've comment about this on /r/Conspiracy, but ended up being downvoted, then deleted.

Nothing here in Orlando FL lately, but then again we aren't exactly close to any military bases (Patrick AFB is the closest I think, and I believe they are slowly fazing it out).

In my hometown there is an airport. I researched my city's history and found out the airport was an Army Air base during the Second World War, then was an air base for the US Air Force until 1965. Then it was deconmissioned into the Rio Grande Valley International Airport for civilian traffic and a flight school. Once awhile, they will fly out an B-17 bomber if it's a nice day to fly. The US Coast Guard uses the airport to fly out their own planes to Mcallen or Brownsville for the National Weather Service and the Border patrol.
The only difference is these did not have any Coast Guard colors or markings. They had current US Air Force markings.

Right on. I work right beside Orlando International Airport, formally McCoy AFB. So far I really haven't seen any military aircraft around here, just the general commercial passenger and package transport aircraft.

Same thing with Rio Grande Valley International Airport. They only have the commercial passengers and package transport aircraft.
