Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but if memory serves, Swansea Airport (and it's ATZ) are outside the Town boundary.

Pontious Navigator - I would still love to know about the low fly areas in Lincolnshire. Am I to assume you are away for the moment or some other reason for the lack of response?

sonicstomp:

If the RAF had a higher public profile, your average office worker might recognise a C130 as a military a/c and therefore cheer rather than cower under the desk
You might be too young to remember the C-130 that was nicked from Mildenhall by a pissed-off ground crew guy and flown out to Land's End where it crashed in the sea. A large lump of metal flying towards you is a large lump of metal flying towards you even if it is full of bombs rather than box-cutters.

My god NorthSouth, when was that!

See http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...130+Mildenhall and follow the links in ORAC's follow-up for the full details (or as full as they ever will be!)

WorkingHard,

All flying on Brenda's behalf has to be with "prior authorisation" - be it 100' MSD , 250' agl or FL400+.

Forgive me if I am wrong (honestly), but your posts do seem a little anti-military, particularly on the subject of low flying. Do tell all!

:D

BP - Just would like to know where to avoid such low fly areas. Regularly take off and land which is where the particular interest lies. And yes I have had problems with mil low flying and at airfields clearly marked. Bit less now the A10 have gone but it has happened since and is a bit sad (and scary) when the paid professionals get it so wrong.
