Seen Over Your House Today

The Space Shuttle Discovery and the Shuttle Carrier (747) flew into Rick Husband - Amarillo International Airport for fuel today. My house is right under the approach path. It was pretty awesome!

A C-17 was in (and I believe out of) KPIT today in preparation for the G-20 meeting - there are already numerous other aircraft here, including what looks to be a Chinese 747 - only saw that from a distance.

Jason, I see our little talk isn't working......

Wasn't over my house, but I was in Toronto today and saw my first A380. Impressive !

while on G-20 alert caught this Citation overhead at the end of a flight from Martha's Vineyard. A REACH flight landed earlier - caught on the radio and heard it, but no visual. Sounded like a Galaxy.

Can't get any closer than I am. From radio traffic, police are moving people out from the usual viewing areas.

Aircraft on the ground include a JASDF 747-400, Asiana 747, Brazilian AF 737, and IL-96

There was a Herc buzzing around today. The boy said he dropped four paras at the airport, but I was to far away to see that part....

Typhoon 'showing off' outside the station here. Presumably had some fuel to burn before going into LJLA ready for tomorrows (and Sundays') flypast at Southport.
