mcdonnell Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hello,HP42 - Living at Yeadon,I regularly see the usual types of airliner (737/757) in and out of Leeds/Bradford Airport plus light aircraft.Occasionally we get a treat with a flying visit of a military type.Just recently a Tornado flew over Leeds City Centre on approach to Runway32.As great as that is,what I really enjoy is watching the sky,day or on a nice clear night.We're lucky to be geographically close to the overhead routes and get real relaxation from sitting in the back garden with my binoculars,airband radio and a suitable refreshment.The main tracks are South-East to West/North West approx.All medium/ long -haul types and occasional military transport types.(Globemaster,Galaxy and KC135).On a clear night,you can see the aircraft lights and study the sky closely enough,you'll spot the satellites.It may seem strange to many people(including my neighbours) but I just find it enjoyable and relaxing.Happy Landings.All the best,Paul.

GordonD Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Can't you get a G/F who lives near an army base? do you know of any ? I'm sure they'll be in the phone book under Army. You're on your own when it comes to the G/Fs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Couldn't see the culprit, but the distinct sound of a Merlin in the vicinity earlier. Probably the Grace Seafire III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old foxtrot Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Had a good old UH-1 flying over Wolverhampton on Sunday, anyone know anything about it? Thought there was only one airworthy in the uk (the one at the nationals)..... this was definitely a Huey, it was white. Was thinking has someone got G-HUEY back in the air? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought there was only one airworthy in the uk (the one at the nationals)..... this was definitely a Huey, it was white. Was thinking has someone got G-HUEY back in the air? G-HUEY has been flying for a while and was at North Weald on Sunday where it's based tucked up in the hangar, But G-UH1H might have been about which is based in Preston.
