F-15 Over Tees Bay / Redcar

[MMEMatty]

Hi All

On Tuesday, i was visiting redcar, Just south of the mouth of the Tees, when an F-15 Strike Eagle (I think-It had a dark mud-moving paint scheme) flew south at about 1500 ft very quickly, and very loudly. I was wondering what it was doing? as far as im aware the Air Combat ranges are Quite far out to se, and anyway wouldn't he (or she) transit out at high level?

Just wondering what it was doing low level over redcar, and if he saw the mad 6ft5 englishman on the seafront waving madly while his girlfriend disowned him to anyone and everyone! :D

I've seen a couple blasting it directly over my house in Fourstones, near Hexham. Probably on the way to Spade. Not too sure they'd see you at 1500, not exactly Low Level either. ;)
