What interesting aircraft fly regularly over your house?
Discussion
We are frequently buzzed by the amazing Blades aerobatic team, out practising their display overhead. Trouble is it happens so frequently that I have gotten almost blasé to their antics and don't often bother looking!
I get much more excited by the occasional random fly-past: Sally B at the weekend for example, or even a high-flying F-15, Typhoon or Tornado.
So what are your regular visitors, which would get someone like me rushing around the house looking for my binoculars, but for you is just a run-of-the-mill event?

I live just down the road from Biggin Hill and the Red Arrows reform just along from my house every year. You also get a great view of the Yank bombers and some incredibly low passes from some stunning retro fighters most of which I'm not even sure what they are.
It's a vantage point I certainbly enjoy immensely!

Regulars would be golden harp 73s & EZY minibuses, more interesting would be the bizjets & the FR Falcons coming back from sorties for the military; we used to get the Sea Vixen, Vampire & Meteor, but I think they've moved away, so probably the most impressive is a 747SP that lives locally & wakes the neighbours up a bit!
It was a Tristar yesterday into BHX and yes C17 is a fairly frequent visitor.
Either or both makes my blood run cold, there's only one likely reason for either to be visiting.
Which has to be bringing heroes to hospital.
I am lucky in that all southbound traffic comes over my house on approach, we had what I suspect was an ATR today
(I confess to being less than encylopaedic on medium capacity high wing PAX carriers)

I fancy a change.Living near Dartford and just outside of the M25, I tend to get a lot of interesting aircraft travelling north to south. They can't I guess fly over s/e London to seem to use the M25 as a marker point. Best times are for airshows in the south, so sometimes aircraft from Duxford going to Biggin Hill and things like that.
The military does the same and being next to the river, you do get a few choppers flying up and down the Thames. Thats about it, other than the London City stuff going directly over.
