This little bugger has been flying over western Brisbane all last week. I don't know if it is chartered by some Real Estate company, giving traffic reports or just there to annoy the living hell out of me! But, god...I wish I had a quad 20!

A NOTAR! Awesome. That's one bug I wouldn't mind listening to.

Given that Appleton (KATW) is one of Gulfstream's finishing facilities, we get to see new aircraft almost daily. This one is just returning from a shake down flight and is shooting a low approach to test to see if Bit'chin Betty will announce the suitable warnings. It has a temporary registration number on the tail. Once it is certified its own number will be applied in the manor to which the customer wants it. Many of these aircraft have their registration information "protected" so the owner's identity is unknown. But if you know where to look, you can find out.

Two Eurocopter Tigers flew over just this minute!
They are flying out of Fritzlar some 30 r 40 kilometres away. Usually, we'd only see the ubiquitous Bo 105s out of Fritzlar, but Tiger flights have become much more common in the past few weeks. Hopefully that means they finally get the bugs sorted out. One of them still sported the manufacturer's ID, though.
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Not over my house but whilst on my way over to my Mums house, I saw 2 Hawks flying in formation over the sea. When I got to my Mums I saw and heard them much better, they sounded much more powerful (noisier) than usual, and they had wingtip winder rails on them. Later on I heard them having a play over the sea at high speed.

Sounds like a pair of shiney new Hawk T.2's. :ph34r:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

We have a cropduster buzzing around the house at the moment, he's only yards from the property line and flying at about 10 feet of the ground.  Brilliany flying ---

But out of all the photos I took, only one has an aircraft in it    :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:  got to get me a better camera  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Not sure what's going on at East midlands airport but I've seen 3 An124's since Friday.

The start of a build up for the invasion and subjugation of Nottingham itself??

prepares to repel boarders!  ;D

Funny that. I would have thought you would welcome them as liberators LOL

Saw another AN124 today on it's way to East midlands, it appered to have sometning Orange written on the tail, no idea what though as it was to far away to see correctly.

a yellow sar sea king..........which is odd since im as far from the sea in any direction as could be possible   :huh:

He was on a patient transfer job - spinal injury - from Furness General to Preston. He checked-in with us as he came into our area. Regular tasking for the SK's when a HeliMed isn't available.

Was out for a walk with my son and was buzzed a 2 ship ADF Tiger ARH formation, the joys of living on a military base.  Didn't have my camera with me, so I walk down to the pad when we go home and got these.  Is interesting to see that that have the Hellfire rails on one side,amd the larger 19 capacity rocket pod on the other.
