I remember watching in the distant past a program about the test pilot school

I'm assuming you mean the short BBC series - https://youtu.be/vFfWqd9p33k

That's the one, amazing what you can find on YouTube.

Some interesting planes flying over Edinburgh in the next few weeks for the tattoo.

Anybody know what was doing laps of south Sheffield today (Saturday 5 Aug 17), including a loop?

It was too far away to identify, but might have been a warbird, and didn't show up on Flightradar.

Or it might have been one of those Russian aerobatic tractor things.

I was in Coal Aston all afternoon at a BBQ with a view towards Sheffield but didn't see or hear anything.

I couldn't see it mentioned but did anyone see the flight over in the USA where the pilot drew a huge outline of a 787 (I think)?

I was in Bents Green when it went over low before I could see it. Looking at the map, I guess it would have been buzzing around Owler Bar/Grindleford/Baslow, but hard to tell.

Big storm in the area at the moment.

[red_slr]

yeah they had everyone hanging about for 20 mins. Another load of heavy showers coming down the M62 now towards the airport.

[red_slr]

EK18 is just about to go should be fun they do a fairly wide turn over Irlam so should be flying straight through it!

[red_slr]

20 mins delay but went in the end with a very sharp right turn to avoid it all. Really coming down here now.

Likely connected, but just had 2 low flyers circling over West Lancs, one looked to be a Thomas Cook flight & the other an EZY. Lived here for 14yrs & never seen aircraft circling to the North West of ours, only to the South.

Lots of non standard holding today. Variety is the spice of life

[BroadWay81]

Just seen this coming in to land at Faro, anybody got any info?



ETA: preceded by a C130, been here over a week seems unusual
