Mr T Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Not exactly over the house, but we are on holiday in France at the moment and went to a bird reserve this morning at Teich Le Buch. Saw a fair number of Storks, Egret of various types and Cranes etc. However the reserve is not far from BA120 Cazaux and so treated to a succession of the resident Alpha Jets and Singapore Air Force M346 Masters as well as a Rafale, Dassault Falcon and Mirage 2000. Wife sent a picture of happy MrT to offspring via WhatsApp. Edited September 14, 2018 by Mr T Delete repeated word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Off work sick today, so got to sit outside in the sun. Circuit quite active today, saw two USN MH-60somethings and a 5-fer of AH-64s, along with a stray Phenom bizjet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 A good day, today. First was a Spitfire 2-seater, then Tiger Moth G-AHIZ and finally a Waco biplane, possibly a UHC. Didn't catch the reg of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 On holiday in North Norfolk at the moment and there have been Typhoons and F-15s making a whole load of noise for most of the day. Maybe *too* much noise ! And bits of tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 No idea, not once but twice loud roaring that suggests either a big older gen civy or something military this afternoon both time no civy showing on the tracking that could even possibly be responsible for the sound.

lasermonkey Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 A Royal Navy Merlin (well, I think it was- it seemed to be Medium Sea Grey all over) flew over maybe half an hour ago, maybe 500ft. I wonder what it's doing in this neck of the woods, seeing as I'm about as far away from the sea as you can get in the UK! Anyway, quite a handsome beast, the Merlin.

noelh Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 A drone, directly over my house, as pointed out by my boys. I abandoned my dinner and stormed out the door. I spotted a guy in his garden and asked if he was controling the drone directly over my house. He said it was. I told him to bring it down now or I would report him. He was taken aback. I pointed out it was illegal. He denied it being ignorant of the law. I was furious, perhaps a bit over the top. Well maybe I could have been more diplomatic as my wife suggested but I wasn't for diplomacy. My youngest son said he'd never seen me so angry. Really maybe I should be harder on the kids.👿 To be fair he brought it down. I'm actually friends with the chap in Irish Aviation Authority responsible for drones. Such power. But I use it responsibly⭐ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 At 1700, an Armee de l'air Xingu at about 300ft heading east. It's used as a multi engined trainer and they're always low, so I don't know what the students go on to fly, although I have seen low level Transalls in the area.

upnorth Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Yesterday, I was leaving a client's office to se a Beech T-34 Mentor buzzing about over the centre of town. I know there's one or two Mentors flying in Czech hands these days, but I couldn't see it well enough to know which one it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just had a dreamiliner over at FL8 shows just now how quiet and efficient they are that despite it clearly being in climb mode it was eerily silent, juxtaposed to an embrear 195 a few minutes later at FL3.5 that made their usual racket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill.B Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 A bit late as it was yesterday, but a singleton Red Arrow flew very low overhead, rolled starboard to knife edge, and disappeared at a great rate of knots in a northerly direction along the Derwent valley. A splendid sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 A spanish air force CASA CN295, in what seems to be an inmaculate "Ultra boring grey" overall colour scheme....... Apart from that, a few UH1-N choppers from the nearby army base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
