What fun

Stood on my balcony last night looking aloft at the stars form our Dorset valley, when low level Hercules flys up the valley at 19.00 followed 25 minutes later by the space station gently breezing overhead miles above, then a low level Chinook at 20.00 and then back again at 20.50 low and slow... it was a beautiful evening to gaze around and you guys flying around is one better option than watching soaps. And to the Sea King formation late the other night, that was mighty low.

If theres a spotter type thinking here and im in the wrong forum, then post me elsewhere, but considering what your all training for and how you go about it then please accept my applause from my balcony every time you fly by my little bit of forever England!!

God save the king.

So what's wrong with watching young ladies lying back on the kitchen table, wearing nothing other than a layer of fruit salad and cream?

PS Based purely on hearsay from my current NOK, of course

Talking Enjoy it while you can!

Coley's post really struck a chord. Here over on the east coast of the sceptered isle, we used to have all sorts of stuff zipping overhead: Jaguar's, Phantom's, A10's, F111's etc. All gone now, apart from the odd F15 coasting in, or airliner trailing at 350 and above.

The 'peace dividend' has really made a difference, as well as messing up my plans for watching aircraft when I retire......

To the professionals on here I'd say that there are still some of us who watch you perform with pride, and not a little bit of envy. Keep it up, guys and gals!

I must be weird.

I spent ages poring over LF Charts and TAPs, both for my parents and myself, to ensure we could avoid "Jet noise"; perhaps being brought up 12 miles finals for LHR 27L had something to do with it?
