Air activity over York

[R26Chris]

Loads of noise tonight over York. Sounds like someone's having fun up there! Anyone know if there's an exercise on?

[mrloudly]

Won't be much fun if the weather's anything like down here (Northampton)...

[Vieste]

Been like it all day in North Yorkshire.

And up over the north east, a few jets making a lot of noise during the afternoon and just had a large jet fly very low over the house making a lot of noise and a lot lower than we normally see.

I really miss the Wittering Harriers... They used to fly over here on a daily basis, we get nothing now apart from commercials in descent for E.Mids and a few helis...

[R26Chris]

There's been lots and lots of F15 activity around here recently. Much more than usual. It's been great actually!

I was out on the Humber Estuary on the 5th Nov and what appeared to be F15s were carrying out bombing runs near one of the old forts off Grimsby. Is that a normal practice range?

In low then climb and bank to left before swooping down and then climbing away to continue a circuit. Was at least three of them.

Most likely operating on Donna Nook range.

There was a 767 into Durham Tees Valley just before 8pm last night. It left just over an hour later. The F15s mentioned have been accompanied by a pair of KC135 Tankers.

It's a handy site if you spot something interesting and need an ID

The 767 (i think....commercials aren't my thing) was back this afternoon and really struggling in the wind. Engines were howling rather nicely, although i'm not sure i'd say that if i was on board
