discussion What flew over your house (yesterday)

[Dave Ward]

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

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

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.

Cheers,
Richard

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.

A sight for sore eyes. Especially mine after staring at 1/700 figures.

Living not far from DSA at finningley we can always here airliners taking off but today heard a tremendous noise and went outside to see a huge aircraft slowly climbing almost directly over us which is not the usual route. Quick check of flight radar showed it to be an Antonov 124-100

A couple of these flew over Henley on Thames yesterday evening ( hence dark shots!)
Not up on helicopter recognition, but I'm sure someone will tell me !

AH-64D Apache.

Had the usual pair of F-16 on their way to escort some 'lost' Russian aircraft the way home. Happens a lot of late.
Have gad a couple E-101 merlin buzz by as well on training flights..

That's funny Steve because we had one fly over this evening too. Just wish my hands were steadier with the camera....
