BAM'n'IVM Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 A P-3 Orion over Carrollton Texas this afternoon. Looked like it took off out of DFW Airport, heading north, then banked over Carrollton and headed off to the northwest. It was low enough that I could make out lots of detail, but I couldn't make out any markings. Link to post Share on other sites

eng Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 EK26 bound for Dubai being unceremoniously on the grass up to her axles!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgo...est/7001366.stm My colleague had to go down the taxiway to help sort out how they were going to get this monster back on the tarmac. One main gear leg off the taxiway at a particularly tricky we bend, a team of BA guy's coming up in the morning to dig it out!! Eng Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Hi all, a pretty good day over Lincolnshire today despite the cloud cover. I was lucky enough to see a couple of Tucanos low flying, an RAF Sentinel approaching RAF Waddington, an F-15E heading south away from RAF Coningsby toward Da Heath but the star of today was the Hawker Hunter performing aerobatics directly over my head at approx 14:00hrs. I was having a conversation with a customer (an ex-RAF Flt Lt by coincidence) when our chatter was interupted by the sound of jet noise. I looked up to see the pilot stand his aircraft on its' tail and climb straight up into a break in the cloud before pulling over the top. He was having a high old time doing loops and rolls aplenty. It was a real treat to watch and had the hairs standing up on the back of my neck! The aircraft appeared to be a dark blue or grey on its 'upper side and red and white on the underneath. I'm guessing it was privately owned. Can anyone shed any more light on the subject at all? I'd like to see a piccie or two it. *Edit*...I think in all likelyhood it may have been this one:..... http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1006248/M/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0892446/M/ Edited September 19, 2007 by geedubelyer Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Storm Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) One min ago I caught a Prowler taking off from Moffett Field!!!!!!!!! No camera, but I don't care, I've never seen one fly before!!! :blink: :blink: Woo Hoo!!!! Anybody know the details? Is he coming back?

MattC Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 "Hercules" at about 250 ft coming out of the gloom and mist over my head as I stood smoking in the garden. Vague name is cos I could not ID it properly, being a shadow against the mist, and I'm not far from Mildenhall, Lakenheath et al, so it could have been either USAF or RAF. There's something awfully awe inspiring about any aircraft slowly taking shape through the fog or mist. Don't know what it is, but its a hairs up on the back of the neck moment.

trevortex88 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 For a Sunday, it was bust at YQR. A flight of 4 Harvard IIs and a Hawk have been in and out of the airport all day. also, a Snowbird Tutor is sitting on the ramp. A bunch of private aviation stuff in as well."Snowbird 12" Thats cool, 114013 was snowbird 1 last year. Maj. MacLean named her "Trixie", short for Triskaidekaphobia, which is fear of the number 13. Useless fact of the day right there, Trev Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Cool a P-51 flew over the house this afternoon, heard it first and then just caught it. Always good to hear a Merlin. Julien Link to post Share on other sites
