Awesome to hear and see this guy

One of them coming over mine in about 5 minutes at about 3,000 feet, doing a go around at Manchester Airport at 12.30pm

Its the same one that did the circuits n bumps at Gatwick.......went from Gatwick up to Manchester, now heading back towards Waddo by the looks of it.

Was due at Manchester yesterday but went tech apparantly.

Sadly not dragging anything behind it ( That I could see )

Normally a lower altitude if re-fuelling etc, this was at 39,000 feet, was much lower when it went up with the F35s the other week.

I see a Typhoon heading SW over the Cotswolds at about 10000ft, unusual to a see a Typhoon in that neck of the woods............

https://www.flightradar24.com/BAW9253/24c7ca6e - BA starting to take narrow bodies out of Bournemouth, presumably for a return to service.
Also a fair amount of Jet2 aircraft moving about either ferrying from Manchester to Glasgow & back or doing out and back test flights from Manchester/Leeds to the Carlisle area.

F15s (I assume) are back over Wiltshire today, I can actually see them this time, as dots in the sky...

[tedmus]

F-35 going low level in the lakes again.

[Narcisus]

Beluga on its run over Sheffield followed by 2 F35's that I Unfortunatley missed when they were above !

[aeropilot]

Italian F-35A's on way back from Iceland?

[tedmus]

ZM150 went over Sheffield so maybe there are two in that flight?

Heading back that way now at 40,000ft.

[Narcisus]

Yeah we were up for 5hrs 30mins today. Left hand seat training for one of our pilots upgrading to captain. Currency landings for a couple of other pilots and then further training for a new pilot to the fleet.

Bumpy day up there today with the low level thermals. First time in 4 years I felt green after a flight. Good days training.

I think that was a post in respect of the IAF 767 tanker that was seen over UK today rather than your E-3 sortie?

If I knew you were on it, I would have waved !!

Saw you when I was travelling east on the A14, near Newmarket, around 1330 hrs.

Strange one. Lufthansa Cargo MD11 from Frankfurt to Chicago has turned back over Scotland.
