McYellowbelly Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Heard a helicopter this afternoon, struggled to see it. Got a glimpse of RAF Puma at about 250ft heading west towards Stirling. Heard there are flights for Air Cadets being made from Leuchars, maybe one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Not over my house but Just now an ERCO Ercoupe just landed on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. Pilot had to land under a bridge and avoid street lamps to the right side! Not to mention heavy vehicle traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Mid-morning an auto gyro with enclosed fuselage at about 500ft heading east. I've seen it before but not directly overhead, SWMBO was gardening at the time and said it sounded like the engine was about to fall out. She knows about these sorts of things of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 We had what looked like a Bronco fly over the village, heading south on Friday , presumably to attend the Sunderland air show over the weekend. About 2 hours ago we had a pair of Tornado's flying over the village, low and fast, looking like they were following the ECML northerly. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was most definitely heading south towards Ashington. I didn't go to the Sunderland air show this year (went to Flying Legends instead) so I don't know what days it did at Sunderland but they had some footage of the Sunderland air show on the local news and the Bronco was there. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Helicopters every few minutes, directly over the house. It's race week here in Galway and today was Ladies day. The races just ended so there's a continuous shuttle of well heeled punters, see what I did there?👠 flying into the city. Ladies day is always the busiest for helicopters as gentlemen with money are inclined to impress their lady friends. This week is one long continuous street party in town. Great fun. Here comes another chopper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
