Grew up in a bottleneck in LFA 14 in the 70's / 80's & it was the almost daily activity that gave me an interest in military aviation. Back then there wasn't much from the western / allied inventories that I didn't see, from Gnat's to B-52's & everything in between - even occasional US carrier birds.
From my humble Scottish home (no holiday involved) things have been exceptionally quiet for a number of years now & only seem to have gotten more so since the GR4 left Lossie. A couple of Typhoons or Tornadoes maybe once or twice a week, a C-130 once a fortnight & possibly the odd hawk, Tucano or F-15 pair once a month at most are about all there is now...... Highlights in the last year have been a couple of A400M flights & an exceptional low Voyager
At least the incoming SAR S-92's from Inverness, Prestwick & Stornoway are something to see on a regular basis.
