BlueNosers352nd Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 It's the US so basically it's just birds of the feathered kind. Once in a while the local rich guy and his buddy will fly their Stearmans around..........but winter is approaching so that won't happen again for a while. Maybe a commerical airline (yawn) every once and a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I only caught it by chance, not as noisy as usual came directly over our house and then turned to head towards LBA, rather than a straight in approach, nice to see and i did see the C17 last week as well as a pair of Buzzards circling over the Pastures. BTW, we are both alright, although Mrs T is a bit stressed as the surgery is very busy as Covid-19 numbers ramp up. Home Lea has staff off but residents OK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I saw a V-22 Osprey flying over today. Sadly camera was out of reach, so you'll have to look at this Esci model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 RAF C17 went over again today. Regular visitor round my way. Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I saw the C17 yesterday as well Steve, was on its way back to Brize after doing a lot of stuff over Otley and North Yorkshire. Not often you see it low after it departs, usually they climb out. The 727 based at Doncaster Sheffield hused for environmental accidents was out and about on Friday near us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Today I saw two Apache Longbows, on approach to Staverton. Again the camera was out of reach - so MirageHobby and Italeri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 ZM406, Airbus A400M out of Brize. www.filghtradar24.com is quite good, but www.radarbox.com shows more military aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Cessna 400 series twin screaming by at 250’ climbing out of the south airport by me. I live between two local airports, south one is 1.25 miles away the northern one is about 5 miles. So I get local traffic all day/night. The southern one is a major aviation university (Lewis) as well as an O’hare International alternate landing site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Are there any B1s around the uk today? I saw something over Gloucester around 3:30 this afternoon, heading west. Flying too high for a positive id, and leaving vapour trails. Wings positioned like an airliner's BUT too far back, and a long needle like nose. My guess a B1, did anybody else see this aircraft?

Around Gloucestershire you do somethings get U2, B52 and even B2 that are based at Fairford but I haven't yet seen a B1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
