What flew over your house (yesterday)

[colin m]

Well not yesterday but right now. G-TFSI 'growled' over my house.

Ok, not over my house and not actually flying, but it was something of a surprise to come across this rather faded F104 parked in a yard along some obscure moutain backroad in the Italian Lakes region a couple of weeks ago. Pics courtesy of the Lady on the back.....

Nice,all I get to see is passenger jets and India 99.

Airshow at the base here yesterday. Had a lazy low level overflight of 4 Kates w/torps escorted by 4 Zeros. Part of their 'Tora, Tora, Tora' exibition. Alas no camera due to laying sidewalk at the time. Heard Blue Angels, but too fast to catch a glimpse.

Hmm - All I regularly see is the local Air Ambulance - there's a emergency pick up site at the back of the local Tesco, about 400m down the valley to me. Can be quite noisy - but I don't think anyone complains! ( At least I hope not )

Sorry guys, too slow with a camera again, but the BBMF Lancaster has just flown over my house…….great sight and sound to liven up a Saturday!

And my house at about 1542. I had just finished all the gardening, stretched out in the sun nodding off, then the noise grew.

If you guys have read the news...the first time Nancy Pelosi flew out of Subang next door I didn't know but the second time on her return flight from Taiwan I heard the unusual large jet engines, unfortunately it was at night so couldn't tell what she flew in.
Unusual because we have turbo prop planes flying everyday out of the airport including the Airbus transports and Hercs.

Any live on the Kent coast? Whilst working from home today there was a thunderous roar. Ran out into the garden to see half a dozen I think it was F15 Eagles fly over pretty low! We have the spitfires all the time but this was quite a awesome sight today, what a treat

Heard - but not seen - several heavy jets in succession yesterday - I read today that they were 4 B-52s going to RAF Fairford - east of Cirencester

Now that is a 'spot'

Over here we get the fat ones instead of the sleek ones. German A400's made a stopover nextdoor at Subang enroute to Australia for a joint exercise.The Typhoons on the other hand stopped over at Singapore. Wondered why all the big jet noise was all about.

Yeah, confirmed F15s from USAF Lakenheath

We're due for a 'Buf' flyover of a wing to commemorate VN vets. Older than all that fly them, they're quite something to behold.
