adecore Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 mh-53 seriously low, havent seen one in these parts for a good few years, also it was curiously quiet on aproach, normally you can hear anything with a rotor come down this valley from a few miles away, but this was one me practically before I knew it was there. Didnt get a tailcode or number so I have no idea where it came from, not entirely sure on the numbers based here in the UK, if any. Link to post Share on other sites

BAM'n'IVM Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 A CH-47 just flew over fairly low...low enough to make out some panel lines and such, but not low enough to make out any insignia or markings against the dark green... Link to post Share on other sites
desilva6 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Last night my wife and I are driving to dinner. We see a helicopter fly over the highway very low and doing some turns. Then he starts descending over the road. I actually thought he was going to land in the middle of 6 lanes of traffic. I started braking. Well, he didn't land, he climbed back up and flew over near this shopping center. He had a search light so maybe a police heli? That's strange because this is a relatively small city and didn't know we had those here. And today coming out of Home Depot a fairly low but very fast EA-6 flew over. Those engines sounded awesome. Oh, and this was my 100th post on here. Oh yeah, who wants to touch me. Edited April 28, 2006 by desilva6 Link to post Share on other sites
jacobp51 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 We had 12 DM A-10's on the ramp today, along with one VFA-41 F/A-18F. The A-10's were taxiing out as I left base, but they left all of their external fuel bags on the ramp, so I'm assuming they will be returning some time again later. Quite a sight to see all those A-10's in San Diego though! Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Im driving to work after a pick up at Tim Hortons, in the middle of Gorway Rd, just under highway 427 was a CRASHED AIRLINER, jet engine in the median, destroyed cars and luggage everywhere, pavement torn up, OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!! It was one heck of a movie set, using all real stuff for some British movie. Elmo!!!!! Is THIS what you do with peoples luggage? Not sure about the type of plane as only the tail section was still in one piece. Had what looked like a round all blue union jack as tail markings. Apparently people had been phoneing the news services for a while now telling them about the crashed jet. From Goreway its obvious, mainly due to all the workers and the pylons blocking half the road. But I'll bet it looks pretty real from the 427 or 409. Link to post Share on other sites
