Steve N Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 A National Guard CH-47 buzzed our house at less than a thousand feet last night. Nice thing about having a Guard base nearby. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dkobayashi Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) I wish I had a picture of it but as we were taxiing away from the terminal at Pearson, I saw an Air Canada jet (I think it was a 767) with a really neat paint scheme. The jet was NMF and painted and marked as an old Trans Canada Air Lines painted very much to look like the DC-3 in this photo...http://www.aircanada.com/shared/images/com...tures/h_dc3.jpe It was really impressive and very nostalgic... There's an A319 with that scheme i was just loading here a couple weeks ago. It's got some 50 year commerative markings on it, nice looking plane.

wezra Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 An extremely low and loud RAF Apache Longbow buzzed right over our farm yesterday lunchtime, happened quite a lot over the last few weeks. They're are low enough to see the markings on them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 An E-2C Hawkeye 2000 landed at Burlington IAP yesterday. First one of those I've seen. Funny sounding bugger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger15 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I saw what I think was a Sea King helicopter flying around here today. It had civilan numbers on it though. It was red and white. I later saw a C-130 flying over my house. Joel Edited March 22, 2009 by Tiger15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger27 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Space shuttle Discovery and the ISS flies over here every cupple of hours. Seen it twice now, but have yet to get a good shot of it. It's small, dark and far away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dkobayashi Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 What did I see come through the airport today? (well, last night) THE STANLEY CUP! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk10 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 You mean other than the obligatory 150s and PA28s?. Well two Stinson 108s, an L-19, some guys putting the wings back on a glider, a Veri-eaze, two home builts I couldn't identify, a couple of ultra lights and a Piper Pacer with a Ford V-8 in it. In addition to the 150 I was finishing the Annual on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmat Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Last Thursday as I was riding home west of Shinjuku, Japan, on my bicycle, at about 2100 or so, I heard a loud racket and looked up and saw two helicopters. From the shape, they looked like H-60s, but the sound seemed a bit different. What was interesting was one was all lit up with the ACLs but the other was flying darkened, without lights. They were pretty close to the ground, much lower than usual, perhaps about 1000' or lower. Best wishes, Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mumbles Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Not quite today, but two days ago I was at the RNZAF open day airshow at Whenuapai in Auckland New Zealand A few highlights from my camera (and erm hence copyrighted to me if it matters): 40 Sqn RNZAF C-130H demonstrating self defence capability USAF C-17 all the way from Elmendorf P-51D The only ex RNZAF Corsair still airworthy RNZAF 'Red Checkers' aerobatic team 3 Sqn RNZAF UH-1Hs RAAF FA-18A And all this and more for the princely sum of $5 NZD Edited March 24, 2009 by Mumbles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 ^ Nice piccies, Mumbles! A genuine AH-64 flew over our house today! That's quite the rarity in central Germany. Now, who would it belong to? It didn't have the mast-mounted radar, but it did have "pods" of some kind on the tips of the stub wings. Hellfire launchers inboard, FFAR pods outboard and these pods on the tips. So maybe a Dutch Apache with AMASE pods? Anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 A CC-130 very low and slow , must have just took off from Waterloo Wellington. Was in the very low rain clouds very quick. Around 8:00 last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
majortomski Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The FAA's N12 a Be-200 and N-21 a Be-C90 parked side by side in the hangar this morning. A bit of a problem because I'm slightly dislexic, N21,N12??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizar Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I was outside in the garden then I spotted 3 Apaches flying over the sea and heading somewhere to Pisa->Camp Derby. Quite rare to see them,some years ago a couple of Hips and a single Hind passed over my house,I think that the Apaches were just looking for them Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne S Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Took the bike for a ride and watched the 143rd Air Wing, C-130J play around for a few hours. 2 of them are still in air right now playing in the dark. Base is not to far from my house so I can see them fly pretty easy from the beach here. Was cool earlier they were doing some cool banking like they usually do.

TomcatFanatic123 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Saw a KC-135 shooting touch-n-goes today at Vandenberg. At least I think it was a -135...it was pretty far away, and I'm just judging by the silhouette. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne S Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Ken Middleton gave me the heads up, that this might be sitting at TF Green Airport. So when I dropped my kid off at school, took my camera with me for the ride to have a look. I live 2 miles off the northend of the airport. Mexican Air Force 727, no clue who is up here. Noted: was pea soup out side Edited April 3, 2009 by Wayne S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomcatFanatic123 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Had the pleasure of getting buzzed by an E-2 today...haven't seen one of those around here for quite a while. Was out loading up stuff in my mom's car and heard this funky-sounding prop noise, looked up and sure enough, there it was .
