I was woken up by the rumble of radials at Oh My God It's Early Hours while staying at the University of Oshkosh during you know what week. I peered blearily out of the window into a beautiful dawn sky and saw the gorgeous Boeing 307 heading off for a spin. It didn't fly during the show the three days we were there and my travelling companions, in another room, slept through it. Early bird and all that...
Missing the EC-121 passing over here early one morning 40+ years ago still rankles as I've said several times before... and I heard it! |
You could hear it flying over London during the Chelsea v Man Utd game.

Yeah, it crept over me just now, unusually quiet; just heard it over the microwave! Very milky sky here, hard to see anything high not leaving a trail

Reason: Change EC-131 to EC-121 before Dave Reid ponders what the type is... Though there was only ever a single example of the EC-131. |
One lives and learns! But I've flown in a Cv440 and it took me a long time. to see a Connie Airborne (N494TW at Biggin - even when I was at Miami in 1984, the few regular visitors stayed away and the four I saw were all unairworthy - though the Starliner subsequently flew at least twice and is now at Kermit's place).

WHBM
Picked it up on the sound from the TV, was using the channel that only had the noise from the ground and not the artificial fan noise that is on the other channel. Looked at the Flightradar 24 app on my phone which showed it flying west over London. |
After stories about reliability problems with RAF E-3's, somehow they have managed to get 2 of them flying this morning. 101 still circling over the North Sea but 103 now heading back to Waddo after a shortish flight.

You mean something broke shortly after take-off? :p

How about a Cessna 172 over Wisconsin at 45,000 ft doing 450 kts :eek: I kid you not.....

Had a fairly low level visit from a Chinook earlier, always nice to see mil traffic round here - wish Mildenhall would send their Ospreys for a sight-seeing tour over here.

C-GECG isn't a Cessna 172 any more. It is now a Citationjet 3 (C525B) which makes more sense
Out of date info in the tracker I'm afraid! |

CV-22 hugging the south coast westbound and just approaching Selsey Bill - alerted my Worthing mate for a photo op but I suspect he's off line at the mo and has missed the chance.

Loud old USAF C-130H just bundled over London inbound Mildenhall. Two more in very loose trail over France, emanated from sandy regions...

Bit late to this, but I am sure an AN124 passed over northern UK last Sunday pm around 14.30 bound for Europe, there was a Cargo Lux 747 some 20 miles in front I think. I did not have phones or binoculars, and quite forgot about it until looked in on this thread. Very odd sounding engines which initially caused me to look up, though the fact that there were some Contrails was unusual enough these days.
Cheers Mr Mac |

Wondered what the distant and persistent droning was over London earlier - another AN-12 westbound!
Wonder what was in it. |
