What flew over your house (yesterday)

[Guest]

Just had a lone Tornado whiz past which is very unusual as we don't as a rule get military over Belper. It was quite low as well.........Hotly followed some 15 mins later by this...

Near Stafford, 4th June about 12.30. Spotted a Harvard (or is it a Texan, I don't know the difference) but any way, it flew right over the house, finished in a really bright yellow.

Sorry, not over our house, but Bala Lake, Nth. Wales..............

We were having a few days camping last week, and a Monday being their regular 'playday' we were buzzed off and on by Shiny black Gnat fighters From RAF Valley, I presume? They flew so low and fast (the wing span was the width of my handspan) that they were over head before we heard anything......frightened the Mem Sahib to death! They went off screaming down the lake to 'bomb' Bala town.....no bad thing some might say!

Around midday a C41? came over slow and very low....Luckily, we heard him coming some way off!

Cheers,

Ron

Mods, as they weren't over my house as such (although we were in our camper van. lol) feel free to delete this post........

They do actually use the local towns as "targets" after taking out the dams so we're use to having aircraft scream overhead, I'm in Denbigh so we get hit more than usual as there are 4 lakes/dams up on the Denbigh Moors...

i stayed in a farmhouse up on the hills above glan conwy a few years ago and was rudely awoken on the monday morning by a hawk from valley flying over aat what i estimated to be about 75 ft,it happened on and off for a few days until i spoke to the farmer and he took me up to a slightly higher field and showed me a cross painted on his roof. apparently the used it to test their targeting.

Im at this moment in time sat upstairs with my two grand children and we could hear the roar of two Apache helicopters fly past the bedroom window, even though it is absolutely chucking it down.

They looked nice though, first time i have seen any of these helicopters, they looked really impressive...

Here in Vermont I am less than a mile away from the Vermont Air National Guard. We can hear and see F-16's flying in and out of the airport here. They rattle our windows. :P

Over the past week we've had a Chinook which almost landed in the local park it was that low, seriously, you could see the guy hanging out the rear door!

Then I believe it was a Merlin flying about 2000ft up over the town.

Wonder if their exercising for the Olympics?

A great unique sound the Chinook.

XB-70 flew over today it was incredibly loud and shook the windows a bit!

That looks fantastic Trey, very convincing I had to take a second glance. Well done.
