It was until they sprayed le Tricolore all over the sky.

I forgot to post this from a few weeks ago:

I forgot to ask, is that where the Chinooks went to?

Nope, they headed off west following the Thames.

Trump is in Windsor 13-15th. I’m busy trying to book a holiday to go away ..

Couple of interesting ones yesterday.

About 14:00, a "Privately Owned" Spitfire flew over - how cool would it be to own and fly your own spitfire...

Then around 16:00, a Chinook flew over - really, really low - lowest I've seen - which was cool. I've mentioned before but one of the senior pilots from the RAF is from our town so I guess he's buzzing his house to say hello to his kids...

I've not quite got the hang of IDing them by sound yet - I can pick them out but don't remember what they are

This was near that. I wonder what altitude they reached?

Cxeers, explains why they were yank registered on the app

Very dodgy DHL landing and go around at Heathrow earlier today

Warning : definite deaths. RIP.

Footage of a light aircraft crash yesterday in Venezuela (apparently). Looks like one wing stalls almost immediately after rotation (?).

No flaps out by the looks of it, so not enough lift at that speed without them. Wing stalls as soon as the plane moves out of ground effect range

Very clear analysis now available for the UPS freighter crash. Crew didn't really have a chance.

(Aside as it's not a cause, but although everyone knows it was 34 years old, that plane had spent a total of more than 11 years actually in the air).

3D radar. Have a play with the settings but you need a pretty decent computer for it to work nicely. Doesn't really work on my phone.

Airbus grounding a load of planes until they have a software update/ new computer fitted

Two Apache AH64 gunships just went over at 1400ft. Quite noisy.
