Graeme H Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I live close to the airport and can clearly see all take offs from the most active runway sitting on my back deck, now i'm at Lat 19 south in Northern Australia, and just watched a Kawasaki P1 take off ( no mistaking it) Would have got a photo, but was talking on the phone at the time.

RMP2 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Watched a pair of F-15s having a very low speed high alpha dogfight over Immingham this morning. Nice way to spend the wait for a full english at the butty van. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 4 high flying jets flying in a loose finger 4 rapidly heading south over Edinburgh, heard the rumble but they were to high to see what type they were. Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wamwig Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Lower than normal helicopter traffic, what looked very much like a 658 squadron Dauphin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Can't see it from here but the Waterbomber 747 is just crossing the Irish Sea heading for Tel Aviv. I assume it's joining the Haifa forest fire fighters. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Not exactly over my house, but just around the corner, were a beautiful pair of red kites. I'm seeing more and more of them around these days, and very welcome they are too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bradley Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 A V-22 Osprey of some sort has been buzzing the area at high speed for the past half-hour. It's almost dark here, so no photos, nor can I identify the version or markings. They aren't at all common around here - wonder what it's up to?

junglierating Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 A400M fairly low over Frome market today(Sunday) which was unusual...unmistakable through. Then on my way pretty sure I saw a Spitfire at high level....still unusual. That said it's a long time since I won the ATC summer camp aircraft recognition competiton at Cranwell. No wonder I became a matelot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I saw an Mi-17 helicopter from the nearby base puttering about in some low cloud over the city this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Had a Spartan Executive fly over the other day (Sunday, maybe?). It was fairly low and made a lovely racket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 A Dornier Do 28 just flew over. Again, a lovely noise coming from those twin engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Macnaughton Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 About half an hour ago I saw a Sea King AEW following the A38 at very low level from Exeter to Plymouth and presumably en route to Culdrose I hadn't realised that there were any SK still operational but reading up about 849 Sqn apparently so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Branch Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Not exactly over my house but I went down to Canberra airport the other day to watch this lady arrive. https://images.defence.gov.au/fotoweb/archives/5003-All Defence Imagery/DefenceImagery/2016/S20162938 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I'm pretty sure a Mustang flew over earlier. It was quite low and going like the clappers! By the time I got to the window, it was just a distant, tail-on view. It was heading east, towards Cambridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 These were a couple of days ago but and not over my house, but saw a pair of warbirds fly due north in the distance west, to far to see what they were but no doubt spits or mustangs or one of each. Also saw in the far north distance an A380, an unusual side north, normally see them going directly overhead or to the south, a look on Flightradar24 showed in on a holding pattern for LHR north of Chelmsford, shows just how big that thing is I could see it clearly from my window 35 miles to the south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragon Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Hasn't flown over my house yet but siitting in Edinburgh Airport right now is a C-27J Spartan of the Royal Australian Air Force. Flying on test reg of I-RAIB but also listed as A34-007 on FlightRadar24. Planefinder had it as an Iran Air flight, LOL! Came in from Turin.
