A400M following some pretty patterns.

Heard this noisy git droning overhead later on. It's an unmistakable sound those 400s make.
Doing it again now, just watched fly over my place (KL)


Again last night. Would love to know why.
Just training flights, I would imagine.

Really? F1 banned military flypasts last year, with the exception of display teams like Red Arrows.
Hence why they’ve swapped from a380 from the the last few times to, a military display team I guess

Having a browse with Storm Ciaran going on. This pilot seems to be making a meal of things with 2 attempts at Eindhoven and now onto their third at Brussels!



Ryanair flight ahead of them also gone around

The track of the storm W-E at the moment doesn't seem to be creating many difficulties in terms of crosswinds at UK airports in the south

Big Jet TV is at Heathrow, but not much excitement there, not even really coming in at an angle

Two extremely loud planes have just flown out of Fairford heading south over us in Wiltshire. Guessing the Bones? but not on ADSB exchange. Gave us quite a scare, they must have been over 5000 feet (this is the normal height for A400s that we see alot going in & out of Brize/Fairford) but sounded like they were about to take the roof off.

Apparently this was refueling the noisy B1s that went out over us earlier. Gone back to base now, don't know where the B1s are.

I had to look that one up too as it came over here in North Essex as it sounded different to the usual stuff that comes over.

I live not far from LBA its blowing a hooli here thanks to Storm Debi.

Looks like this Ryanair flight to Lanzarote did a trail runway test and than went back to the terminal, not see that before but I don't blame them,
