Skywriting Demo This Afternoon! Big '4' Over Redwood City

If you are in the viewing area, go outside and look up!

At 3:50 p.m. today, an aerobatic team of six jet aircraft will demonstrate skywriting as part of a new game launch, according to the Mountain View Police Department.

The numeral "4" will appear in smoke at 10,000 feet over Redwood City signifying the debut of Battlefield 4 by Electronic Arts. 

And at 4 p.m., the jets will make four low passes, at 1,000 feet, over EA Sports in Redwood Shores, with smoke showing from the jets as they fly. The demonstration concludes about 4:09 p.m.

Mountain View Police forwarded the sound alert from the San Mateo County Non-Emergency Alert.
