Moose135 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Guard Blackhawk dropped in to Republic (KFRG) the other day. Spent about 10 minutes parked at the terminal (with rotors turning) then left. I think one of the pilots needed to hit the head That's the local cable news helicopter landing in the background of the first photo.

Steve N Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Had a CH-47 Chinook fly by the house yesterday at less than 1000 AGL. Probably headed over to Fort Custer. I think I heard it again later, but didn't see it. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TomcatFanatic123 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Well, I didn't actually see it, but I heard an E-2 flying around here. Hawkeyes and Hercs I can usually just tell by the sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Almost have proof we still have a military around here. Last few dys we have had a CH-146 Griffen buzzing about. Today........A CF-18 came in to land at the local airport. DANG you forget how LOUD those suckers are when compared to a 737. Did 2 circuits around the house, wheels down heavy right hand turn then straight in to the aiport across the river. Woman who just bought 2 doors down was covering her ears and had a face of absolute terror!!! :o My kids were playing soccer outside and jumping up and down "Hey Dad, a Hornet!!!!" You can see which families like and dislike fighter aircraft in this neighbourhood. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevortex88 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Is that the Hamilton airport Shawn? I wish I was back home to see that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I saw a Robison 22 Helicopter fly over MY home this morning, then this afternoon Robinson 44 Helicopter hovered and circled the block where I live.... :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
domvickery Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 :D Slow day spotting at YOW but it was worth it Harvard from VWoC Sikorsky S-76 Air Ambulance My first sighting of Zoom's "City of Montreal" B757-200 Top Aces 2 Alpha Jet C-GOTA Wayne YOW Airport Watch where are the aircraft on these pics all i can see is snow i tnink they need to paint them a little brighter!!

martin_sam_2000 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 where are the aircraft on these pics all i can see is snow i tnink they need to paint them a little brighter!! :) those pictures are decievng. we actually had a lot MORE snow that it looks. I work at the building in the background of the last pic(red roof) and that one snow bank on the left by the fence is nearly 8 feet(!!!!!!!!!!) tall. the only good news was we were the snowiest capital in the world the funny thing..if the one with the harvard was taklen about 30 seconds earlier you would see me staring right at the camera sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devil505 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) Two different ends of the spectrum made an appearance over my house today......Around 10am a little ultralight buzzed around the area for about 15 minutes before heading off to the SW. But about 2 hours ago a 747 passed overhead, but not that much overhead. If he was at 10k I'll be stunned. What's the big deal about that? There aren't any fields around here big enough to handle one of those. Edited April 6, 2008 by devil505 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dahut Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 A big Chinook flew overhead, with a great beast of a refueling probe out in front. I tried to get my wife to follow it in the car, but she deferred... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I was under the truck early this afternoon changing the oil and heard what I thought was a C-130. I wondered, "Who the heck is flying today into KABI?" (Abilene Regional) I got up in time to see one of the P-3 Orion Slurry Bombers on a long base-leg into KABI and of course had a bit of oil on my hands and no camera. They have about three slurry bombers based out of Abilene right now as west Texas has been in a high fire danger for some time now. I'll have to get out the the airport and see if I can get some pics. I wasn't able to see the tail number on the one today but here are some pics I took awhile back. First at McGhee-Tyson (Knoxville), TN in 2000 and the next at Moses Lake, WA in 2005. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Is that the Hamilton airport Shawn? I wish I was back home to see that! Nope, Waterloo Wellington, thats why seeing a Horent landing HERE is even more impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfighter Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I didn't see it, but my son did. 4 A-10s on approach to Greater Pittsburgh Int'l. They're in town for the Pirates home opener fly over tomorrow, which I will be watching from my office. - Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gunfighter Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Finally saw the four A-10s that my son saw yesterday. I was surprised that they were as high as they were for the flyover. Still cool to see them right outside the window as they approached PNC Park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liberator24 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Finally I can add one... USAF Thunderbirds...looked like 7 abreast, buzzing Disney Property before headed to Lakeland for Sun-n-Fun! -Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
