Seen Over Your House Today

[anthonyp]

Two of Selfridge's A-10's literally just flew over my house.  Too bad my camera was in the opposite side of the house...

...were these little "pedal cars" at a model swap meet last Saturday. Notice that GIRLS were driving them!





If you count "seen while driving", I saw the Northrop N9M flying wing (1940's 1/2-sized test aircraft for the later "Flying Wing" strategic bombers) aloft over Gillespie Field. WHAT A SIGHT! Looked like a boomerang in the sky, and when it turned edge-on, it seemed to disappear! (Not my photo!)

Friday 787 and 747-8 on test flights, Saturday a B-25 accompanied by a P-51D.

It flew *almost* over my house---about 5000 feet up and about a half-mile away. There was a local air show in Gillespie Field, some thirty miles from my house, and I guess Monday is when the warbirds go back to their own roosts! I was in the outside hot tub soaking, and heard "mighty engines" in the sky. There it was! Then the %$#@ phone rang and I had to run wet into the house to get it. By the time I got back out, the B-17 was gone. 


Anyway, loved seeing it fly!

Forgot to mention saw a few helicopters myself Wednesday before last when taking the kids out for a walk.  We were buzzed by a Robinson R44 pretty low, then saw another one later at a distance (could have been the same machine).

The highlight though was an RAF Puma following the line of the Humber.  I've never seen one in this neck of the woods before & it was quite a way out from it's usual base at RAF Benson about 200 miles away.

I was out front helping my sister load some stuff up to take to storage, when I heard the sound of a helicopter.  It turned out to be a bright yellow Sea King, trailing a couple of hoses.  There was an advisory about possible smoke due to wildfires this morning, so I thought it might be one of Carson's, but all the photos of their birds show Carson titles across the belly of the aircraft, and this one was clean.

Spotted actually heard this C-130 as it approached. Ran outside to snap this pic.



I think it was heading into Green Bay. Possibly to pickup some support equipment left behind by Viper East Demo Team.

I was out enjoying the nearby outdoor swimming pool earlier today when an L-29 Delphin jet flew over.

Pretty rare to see one outside of a museum, let alone flying.

Actually there are several flying in civilian hands owned by private collectors/operators. Cheap jet warbird as warbirds go.

While judging at a local archery tournament this afternoon, I couldnt help but notice that the airfield next door (Sywell) was being buzzed by a Harvard. And later it hosted a visit from a very bland looking army air corps Augusta A109. Sywell is home to the UK importer for the A109, so the few British military examples are regular visitors for servicing.

In the US maybe   But Upnorth is our resident Canadian in the Czech republic

Actually, I think there are more than a few L-29s on the European civil registers and two or three active on the Czech register specifically.

Still, they are a rare sight flying outside of an airshow around here. Yesterday was actually the first time I'd seen one actually flying without performing at a show.
