' Mystery' Jet

[pax britanica]

On Monday I stopped by Blackbushe for a bit of fresh air and sunshine and to see if there was anything interesting around-there wasnt. However Blackbushe being on a sort of plateau has a great big sky feel and look to it and there are always a lot of overflights some of which over time have been quite interesting. Anyway mid afternoon a lovely brilliant white contrail is being towed west to east -sort of Compton-Biggin track and the binoculars reveal a 777 -possibly a A333 with red engines and fin, quite a smart darkish red .

That looked interesting so get FR 24 on the case and it shows a T777 on that track at FL350 but just a generic boeing blue version and no info on destination call sign or registration.

Anyone any ideas what it was pl-no big deal but I am just curious

Did it look anything like this?

Came from Baltimore Washington airport and went to Ramsteine.

Perhap they were subbing for the US military or Government?

PB Blackbushe is my local airfield and I pop in a couple of times a week and get the odd piccy but it is very quiet. If you visit regularly you might like to check this web site:

If it was early afternoon then looks like it was N927AX operating as CMB118 (according to Planefinder).

Very many thanks to all three of you, it was definately the Omni T7 a perfect match and I guess as pseudo military wasn't giving away much in the way of details.

HD many thanks for the Blackbushe forum link, I used to follow the old Farnborough group site that covered EGLK until there was some kind of falling out among the contributors/moderators i think.

I agree its been a bit quiet lately but stopped by today en route Camberlay-Hartley Wintney and three interesting aircraft all withing a few minutes-a hightail Kingair which i didnt get the best view of - a fantastic Cessna Grand Caravan floatplane floats pulling a hard right turn out past the tower. The last one another King Air N238(?) KA -parked facing the wrong way on the ramp and departing with one solitary crew on board.

many thanks again to all
