Got buzzed by two pairs of these when I was out with the dog.

Display team? Dark blue/black with RAF roundel. Had a whiff of a chipmonk (boxy/square) about it, were it not for the retractable gear. Ugly ass exhaust poking out the side of the engine. Sounded like a turboprop.



I'm sure it's really obvious...

Indeed, but if Tucano why is the undercarriage down?

I was walking by the end of a runway so it was on finals.
