I haven't seen a plane all day and I live 2 miles from St Petersburg Intl. in Pinellas County, so that must be CGI because my eyes aren't lying to me. I also live in this area, Clearwater. No commercial jets today, and I've been watching. I'm very close to where planes coming in for landing at the St.Pete/Clearwater airport. I'm not under the landing approach, but the planes come in from the Gulf, quickly turn, and line up for the runway about 5 miles away. No commercial aircraft, usually fairly busy. Some small private planes from a small airfield in Clearwater. Sometimes a Coast Guard C-130 flies low over my house as they prepare to land at St. Pete which is also a fairly big Coast Guard base. Spooky quiet....kind of reminds me of the three days following 9/11.  It's now 12:20 EST. No aircraft tonight. Every night of the week I can see aircraft coming in from the Gulf of Mexico, the plane's bright, front light, looks like a star in the sky when it is still far away. Around 8-9pm the planes are often stacked up in a line because some flights will be heading for Tampa Int. and the rest are going to St.Pete Clearwater. THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMERCIAL AIR TRAFFIC ALL DAY (AND NOW NIGHT).
