My mind first went to Blue Thunder but can you remember how that goes? :oops:
Before I knew it I was away with an Apache/Airwolf mashup. I had no chance of recalling B.T. after that.

I believe this is the first time I have seen this. Who is up for it?

Breguet Atlantic 2 apparently. Maritime patrol duties.

We had a de Havilland Vampire fly low over the house the other weekend after a day at the local Aircraft museum. It sounded fabulous.

There used to be a squadron of those based at our local airfield before it was decommissioned and built on

Today I learned this happened. Didn’t know!

B25 is tiny in comparison to the commercial jets that hit the WTC towers btw.

We’ve had quite a large amount of military training passing over recently. We had 3 typhoons pass over low and quick the other day, and then 2 consecutive nights of escort training

Similar here - quite a few transporters.

Normally a precursor to major military action - this time, it's probably delivering stuff to Ukraine

German military landing in London? https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=3f8d09
Dutch military flew over earlier also.
It's no biggie, a bit less air traffic in general would be nice.

I’m still quite fascinated by this channel.

This is one of the worst incidents Mr Mentour has covered - not often you hear him slating the pilots so assertively. :shock:

A Bi-Plane just flew overhead

A Waco YMF-F5C like this - made a proper old skook sound... 8-)
