If there was a military plane fly-by, it might have been referenced as Golar Wash, Panamint Mtns, Pleasant Canyon, or Serles Valley.

Death Valley is a national park and is restricted airspace for plane overflights below a certain altitude.

Pleasant Canyon does have a short section that is within Death Valley NP. Golar Wash does cross from Searles Valley into DVNP. Panamint Mtns is the western side of Death Valley.

It could have been Panamint Valley Days event as there was a thread about it last November.
