I hope that person had the monkey strap on!

A couple of CH-53s transiting through CMH. Headed west, then southwest. Heard the noise, paused the airplane movie I was watching (Hanover Street.) Forgot to grab my phone.

Just had TF-51D Contrary Mary fly over

T-38 out of CMH, making more noise than the usual RJs.

Two days ago actually, KC-46A Pegasus tanker.
Probably around 1500', appeared to be climbing out after taking off from Paine Field rather than in the pattern to land and probably on a test-flight rather than delivery. Pretty much directly over the house.

Did any spare parts or tools fall onto your roof?

Isn't the Pegasus a KC-46?

I thought the KC-45 was the cancelled Airbus USAF tanker bid.

Yes, fat fingered the phone keyboard and didn't notice.

A small piston engined aircraft that had a more "full" voice than most. And then it did some aerobatics.

According to Flightradar24, there was an Extra in the area at that time.

Monday morning at about 10:30, flying over Leominster (70 miles from the sea) a coastguard helicopter, heading North. What WAS he doing so far inland?

Planning a chat with some gentlemen that don't exist at a base that equally doesn't exist?

I've seen them on the ground at Shawbury when visiting the RAF's Best Air Traffic Controller. Perhaps they're maintained there, all the other aircraft there are helicopters too of course.
