Cross country flights.. They've been doing those for years. They come in from the west, over north Gilbert, swing north over Mesa and land at SH. It's usually 3-4 birds every other weekend. I've seen them fly over my house now for years. For a while they would fly by between noon and 2pm on Sat or Sun. Their sound is very distinctive over commercial jets and the first thing I do is run outside and see what they are. Most of the time they are F18's.

I also seem to be in the flight path for Gateway. Military birds will fly low over my house on a sw to ne pattern and then swing a hard right to land at GW. I've seen some pretty cool aircraft fly. There's one plane that flys over every Sun night about 11:30pm extremely low and has some unique formation lights, and it also lands at GW...
