A nice change from Chinooks
 
Or another thank you for flying over/past thread

Crossing a footbridge over the A3 this afternoon back into Petersfield on my run I looked to the north and saw a Hercules flying towards me, nice and low*, along the road before it turned off in the direction of Winchester on the A272 as far as I could tell.

We're very used to Chinooks round here so it made a nice change. :ok: Thanks chaps (and chapesses perhaps), cheered me up no end as I continued up the hill with a big grin on my face. :)

(* By low I mean well above the minimum limits as set out in all the relevant rules and regulations and not in anyway frightening livestock, swooping or plunging. So there.)

I take it you are fully familiar with those low flying limits and have had your eyes calibrated so that you could gauge their height exactly?

Yes, he is, and I calibrated his eyes. :hmm:

Did you use eyeliner? :ooh:

COL's wokka mate came past here last night and only achived a level of 'moderate' interest from the kids rabbit. The rabbit was wearing hi-vis as well, can't be too careful you know.
