Does anyone remember or have pictures of the 4 engined jet that mistakenly flew into Northolt in the 60's. Might it have been a B707. A very interesting thread thisfor us closet anoraks .

An Ilyushin 62 (DDR-SEG "Lady Agnes" of INTERFLUG) landed on a grass strip of 900m at a place called Stollin-Rhinow (EDOR) some 60km outside Berlin in October 1989 and is now preserved there

Blimey, the IL62 landing in the field was quite impressive !
From my youth and recent times ...
RAF Northolt - Saw 2 x C141 Starlifter land there ( not on the same day ! ) ... bringing Ronnie Reagans cars in apparently ...
More recently .... a couple of USAF B757's have been in ....

At Meigs Field in downtown Chicago (now closed by an idiotic mayor), a 727 once landed there - I've searched the internet for photo's, but can't find any. If anyone has info or pics of this landing, please post it.

Strathallan airfield hosted not only a Comet 2c but also a Shackleton. Both flew in but both were taken out by truck
Strathallan from the air
Comet 2c (ex 51 Sqn)
Shackleton T4 (ex RAE Farnbourgh)
I can vaugely remember a BAe 146, from Air UK I think, that was flown into and out of Cumbernauld for an air display in the late 1980's. Anyone got any pictures of that?

Fokkerwokker talking about
Brooklands...
"Colleague of mine, Dick King, took the Omani VC10 into there. That must have been interesting to observe!"
I thought it was Rex Hennebury and Paul Richards?

Tristar into Southend a few years ago to be broken up for spares. Must have been interesting.
There was also an A300 once which apparently burst some tyres during the landing roll out.

Shortest, for me, in the C-5--Barking Sands, Hawaii, 6006 feet or just over 1820m. Have to be on your game with a load or just be ready to backstroke. Kodiak, AK is far more interesting due to weather and winds, about 7000. We do touch and goes on 7000 feet. C-5s have been into Henry Post AAF, Ft Sill, OK, 5000 feet on a not very regular basis. No load, in or out, just load training.
